I'm only six weeks and I don't have any MS so I probably shouldn't be complaining but I'm really tired of mouth breathing. My sinuses need to quit. This is one of the weirder pregnancy symptoms in my opinion. ugh.
I have chronic sinusitis and have had 2 prior sinus surgeries. Between the pregnancy hormones causing things to swell, me not being able to take the meds I normally do, and just generally my effed up sinuses - I cannot breathe. It's probably been my worst "pregnancy" symptom all along. Oh what I wouldn't give for a massive dose of steroids right now!
I'm sorry you're going through this too. I think most women get better around second trimester and then get worse again during the third. So hopefully you'll get some reprieve.

Its not nice. If my partner tried to smooch me id be gasping for air - not very romantic.
THIS! Ha ha ha! So happy that you said that! I have had to duck a few kisses because I am gasping for air! Thankfully, my husband understands!
Actually, out of all my pregnancies, this one has been the worst for breathing through my nose. I know that it will get better. It's kinda been my mantra... second trimester, second trimester, second trimester!
Re: I would really like to breath. That would be awesome.
I am still in the same boat and obviously I am much further along and but it seemed to have a moment of getting much worse.
I tried saline. I tried Ayr. I finally had to break down and take Benadryl and even that didn't help.
I wish I could tell you it will get better but I am just not positive it does yet.
Hang in there.
I am fully addicted to Afrin at this point.
