congestion & coughing but no cold?

bethybeach

Anyone else experiencing this?  I cough mostly when I lay down at night.  But every morning I am blowing my nose.  I am not congested no runny nose but it seems I am producing a lot of stuff, mostly in the morning.  I have never had alergies so I don't think it is that.  Sorry if TMI...

Is it a common symptom of pregnancy?

congestion and sneezing is definitely a pregnancy symptom.  I don't know about the coughing.

I have a stuffy nose every single morning, and a little bit of an itchy throat. I always feel sick - like I am getting a cold - for about 20 minutes or so and then it clears up and the rest of the day is fine! I think it's totally normal.

I've been having some chest congestion (coughing up phlegm) too - I bet it's from post-nasal drip. Awesome.

That is very common from what I can tell, I am having the same problem. From what I understand, all your mucus membranes swell during pregnancy or something to that effect. Try a room humidifier where you sleep, that helped me some.

Yes this is me exactly!

Thanks for sharing all!

I'm stuffed up and coughing almost every day (Not today, today is nosebleed day) This is my theory: since our immune systems are compromised, everything in the air bugs us. And we are overproducing saliva which we want to cough out because we're not used to it
