Sneezing & Cramping

in 1st Trimester

So, I am posting this on the first trimester board instead of the TTC board because you guys would know better.  

 I'm three days from testing (prayers) for the first time after my m/c in October.  I have been noticing a lot of cramping for the past week, but no AF (good sign)....but the weird thing is I am sneezing A LOT!  Like 4-5 times a day and I usually don't sneeze much at all except for in the Spring. 

Anyone else suffer from sneezing in the first tri?  Also, I know I've read a lot of people say cramping is normal.....but should it feel like I'm actually having my AF?

Hoping this week brings good news...I'm excited.

    I dont know about the sneezing lol, but I had a lot of cramping that felt like I would start AF any second but it never came. This was about a week after Ovulation and about a week before testing. Still get mild cramping that remind me of AF, but not bad enough to need meds...

    HTH.... GOOD LUCK! :)

    GL! I had the cramping too w/o AF, and got a BFP! Mind you, it took a while for the positive to show...I used EPT 3 days before my period was suppose to show, then the day of, then 4 days AFTER and it finally showed up.

    Ever since my BFP (due to increased mucus) I have had a stuff/runny nose.  And lots of random sneezing.

    Yep.  Not a symptom of mine, but this does happen to some.

    Never heard of sneezing being a symptom of pregnancy, but you could be coming down with a cold, as it is that season.  I did have period-like cramping for a few hours the day before I got the +.  My biggest symptom was sore breasts, which also seems to be the big symptom from a lot of the ladies here.

    i had the cramps.  as for the sneezing i have allergies that are usually stable until the spring when i need claritin more frequently, but being pregnant can sometimes temporarily cure allergies, or in my case, make them worse!  in fact i had my allergy test done during my last pg b/c i just couldn't handle it and needed to know if i was allergic to my dog (which i am).  so now i just take claritin pretty much every day to prevent.

    There is a medical association with pregnancy and sneezing, it's called pregnancy rhinitis:

    What is Pregnancy Rhinitis?

    Pregnancy rhinitis occurs when your nasal passageways become irritated and inflamed during pregnancy. As a result, you experiencenasal congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose. It is very similar toallergic rhinitis, except that it does not appear to be caused by any environmental allergens or toxins. Pregnancy rhinitis lasts for at least six weeks, and can occur at anytime throughout your pregnancy, although it commonly occurs in thefirst trimester. Symptoms of pregnancy rhinitis usually resolve on their own within two weeks of labor and delivery.

     

    Not sure if it's what you have or not, but it's a true thing.

    Awesome - Glad to know I'm not going crazy.  It's not a cold because other than the sneezing (and some occasional blood in my sinuses) I feel great. 

     The cramping comes and goes.....and I'm hoping for no AF.  I'll let you guys know in just a few days!!!!

    Thanks again for all the responses.
