Pregnant after IF

Anyone else stuffed up?

I have been so stuffed up the last few days that it's hard to sleep at night and hard to breathe outside with the high humidity. I don't feel sick or anything and thinking maybe it's the humid weather?  Anyone else have this issue?

  • yes for weeks now!  If you need to take something my Dr said Sudafed and Claritn D are safe.  The Claritin D has been working for me.

  • I have had this wonderful side effect my entire pregnancy!! I will be so glad when I can breathe normal again!!

    Like Eriksgal said you can take Sudafed. I only try to take it when I just can't take it anymore or I would take it all day every day.

    I also use the Neilmed Sinus cleanse & it helps some.

  • do you have the a/c running at night? i was having major sinus and throat issues for a while, turns out my a/c was drying me out. i sleep with a humidifier on my nightstand and that has solved a lot of my issues.

    feel better!

  • I also know my pg has changed by allergies. They have gotten much worse. Before I wasn't on daily allergy medicine but now I have to take Zyrtec everyday or I have a runny nose and can't breathe.

    I don't live where there is high humidity so I dont know how that would effect me. Hope you figure you out something that works for you.

  • Thanks ladies! I may have to try claritin or sudifed. I also have very mind asthma so my inhaler helps a little bit too.

  • Yes, mine started about a week ago.  Try some nasal saline spray.  MH, an MD swears by it any time he ever gets a sniffle.  :)  Hope something helps you soon.

  • Yup, for months now.  Sudafed is on my approved list, but I took it once and felt guilty because it's such a strong med it freaked me out, so I switched to the natural stuff and it works just as good or better.  When it's running a lot or just clogged, I use a sinus wash twice a day. You can also try breathright strips at night.  They can really help open you up while you sleep.

  • Oh, and they make this saline spray that is in a can. You can use it to clean your sinus out. It does help and its completely safe for baby.
