Snotty anyone?

Kristin131 · January 2011

I have heard women complain they constantly have a stuffy nose while pg. Mine isn't stuffy, just more snotty. In fact I feel like I can never clear my throat either and I'm always blowing my nose. Is this just some freak thing? Please tell me I'm normal haha!

I think you're normal, I have post nasal drip out of control. I'm a veritable mucus factory.

This is also making my asthma worse, for anyone else who may be experiencing this. I had tried to go a long time w/o taking Mucinex but I cannot breathe with all the thick mucus (yuck). And yes, I've been to my specialist to check for other causes and any infections.

I've had the same thing since about a week after my BFP. I'm snotty and my throat is always full of junk. It sucks, but I'll deal it will be worth it in the end.

I've read that pregnant women end up stuffy and with little nose bleeds often.

I'm in the same boat as you though. I had a cold 3 weeks ago but still get a runny nose and stuff in the throat all day. I don't feel sick at all though. Not ever stuffy, but a tiny blood in the tissue once in a great while.

We have a built in humidifier on our furnace that might be helping keep me from dryness. I guess I don't know which is worse?

I'm soooo snotty! lol!

I go through kleenex like a nut. One box in my car, some stuffed in my purse, a box at work, a box in the living room, a box in the bedroom. I have always had allergies, but this has gotten WAY worse since my BFP.

Oh gosh....I have been snotty since the beginning. I'm going through Kleenex like nobody's business. Bloody too (gross, I know). My trash can in the bathroom looks like a crime scene.

I have random sneezing fits but don't feel "sick"

I have had a stuffed up nose since I got pregnant. I thought maybe it was the change in the seasons, turning the AC off and Heat on, etc....nope...guess it is just baby stuff. I got a humidifier for the bedroom...that was a waste, it has been no help. This sucks. I hate not being able to breath...as if being prego doesn't make you short of breath already!

I've been alternating between snotty and stuffy (and sneezy too) since about two days before my bfp. I go through a box of kleenex every three to four days.

I'm snotty! Combine that with the dry air out here, and I'm crusty. It's sexy.

This. I'm always blowing my nose and when I do it in the morning it can be a little bloody. Also, I've managed to pop my right ear while doing it. It is the most annoying thing ever. Usually it gets better in the middle of the day and it's been that way with the exception of today. It's driving me insane!

Ditto. DH hates the mornings because I'll blow my nose (can't breathe) and then I need to clear my throat because it's draining in the back of my sinuses. He always tells me how gross it is and I keep telling him "I can't breathe. This is what I have to do so I can breathe. If you don't like it, get ear plugs. I'm not doing this to piss you off!!!"

Ah yes... and this too... Fricking snotty but crusty all at the same time. So sexy!!

And now i need to blow my nose.

LollyO · January 2011

Yes! It's been an ongoing thing pretty much since my bfp. Plus my ears feel funny. It's like I echo in them when I talk. Not sure how else to explain it.

I go back and forth from being congested to having my nose run like crazy. My doc says that my body is producing extra mucus (think of yourself as a giant mucus factory) so it's all perfectly normal/.

All of the above!

I've had some HORRIBLE post nasal drip too. I have 3 boxes of Puffs in various places through out the house. I also have to use my Sinus Rinse (Neti Pot) every morning. If I don't I end up gagging on it and throw up.

I've had trouble getting a lot of fluids (because of m/s). But if my body take all the fluid it's sending to my sinuses and put it in my gut, I could probably solve my constipation problems, haha. Sorry that's probably TMI when we started on the topic of snot.
