Ok so last week I think I had a cold (due to the classic symptoms

) but now my snot is never-ending!!! It's not colored...so I'm thinking it's just pregnancy rhinitis...

Anyone else stuffed up?

DDC crashing, but I had that TOTALLY with my 1st and now again with this one - my 4th! I had hoped to avoid it again like I did with my boys, but no such luck!

Ugh, I am, but it is due to an honest-to-goodness, fever-inducing cold. I gave it to Carter too, and he's having a rough time. He's had a 103F fever

.

I have a feeling once the rest of the symptoms are gone, the congestion will stick around, I tend to be extra mucous-y when pregnant. I'm trying to use my neti pot, but am out of practice and get dizzy

.

I don't think is just a pregnancy induced because me and the kids all have a stuffy nose- however this is my second cold this pregnancy - it seems w/ every pregnancy I catch 2-3 colds in the first trimester. Mine now seems to be going away again, thank goodness, hope it stays away!

I've gotten 2 colds so far! But now my stuffy nose won't go away! I thought it was just another cold I was battling, I didn't even think to look it up! hehe! Thanks for the info, glad to know it could be a pregnancy thing, because my DH refuses to kiss me because he thinks I have another cold! hehe

My mom always said that one of her first pregnancy signs is a stuffed up nose. I get a bit of one throughout all of my previous pregnancies, and I have a bit more mucous this pregnancy but I really only notice it at night when I'm laying down. I always thought it was normal as I can remember my mom complaining about it when she was pregnant with my sisters.

I don't remember having it with my last two, but with this one and my first pregnancy, stuffy nose started at like 8 weeks. Part of it may be allergies right now (we've got lots of pollen going on here, plus its been windy), but man, it sure makes me stuffed up, especially at night! My mouth gets so dry that its gross.

pregnancy rhinitis is one of the common symptoms during pregnancy, I had it with my son, also a few times my nose was bleeding I was afraid about the situation because is not common in me, then my Ob/Gyn explain me about it. The babies change completely our life style

maybe u need now a T-shirt I love my baby and kleenex tissues

I had a lightly stuffy nose the last couple of weeks. But now I think it is more due to allergies. I went out of town to a location where I definitely have allergies and I seem to have brought it home.

Using the neti pot, but still a bit stuffy. I think it makes my m/s worse!
