Anyone else having horrible allergy/sinus like symptoms?

I remember being super stuffy every morning with my daughter but it was in December when I find out so I partly thought it was that. This time around I wake up super stuffy with a crusty nose (blah) and if I step outside at night horrible allergies! I feel crazy lol.

Re: Anyone else having horrible allergy/sinus like symptoms?

  • I am almost 7 weeks and having terrible allergies! I normally have bad allergies in the spring, but not during the summer months. I thought I was going crazy. I did some research and it is called rhinitis of pregnancy. It's caused by the increase of estrogen and progesterone. Hope it passes soon! I have been having bad headaches as well. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • Here! It let up for a couple days, but has been pretty bad again today. I know I had this last time, but I can't remember how long it lasted!

  • Yes yes and yes! I have a horrible runny nose and sneeze so much throughout the day. It might be the seasons changing, but I'm not sure.
  • I swear I have to sneeze no less than 20 times a day now. It's awful. Trouble breathing through my nose at night as well. I've been using the Vicks VapoRub before jumping in bed and it seems to help me at least fall asleep.

  • I've been snoring now too due to stuffiness
  • Yep! Ever since I tested positive it seems, so almost 3 weeks. Super stuffy nose, can't seem to blow my nose enough and an almost constant sinus headache. Fun!
  • Yes! Yes! Yes! I thought it was just a bug but it isn't getting any better. Anyone know if allergy medication is safe to take? I'm so miserable!!
  • I take Claritin daily as my allergies have been horrible! My doctor said Claritin is fine to take, as long as it's not Claritin D- That one is a no no.

  • Ugh, allergies can suck it!  I like the Alavert dissolvables.  I called my doctor asking about it and mentioned that I had Alavert D12 as well (and that one of the ingredients was pseudophedrine sulfate), and they told me it was fine to take, but I think they might have missed the D12 part.  I took one that day, but haven't since I read that it's not safe to take.  I'm going to stick to just the dissolvables since those are only Loratadine.  My throat gets really itchy and those are amazing.

  • yes... but I'm not sure if it's pregnancy or if I caught what my partner at work had, since I'm in an endless cycle of cough cough cough until I puke, then throw up because I'm pregnant, and puke is gross, then cough even more because of the irritation from throwing up... I feel like I have a lung infection, but no fever... but my immune system is a dumbass, so there's no telling what is up with that.
  • One drop of lavender EO & local raw honey has changed my life when it comes to allergies!! no more hay fever! no more itchy eyes! No more allergy attacks! Weeee lol

  • Dry mouth , stuffy nose and tons of mucus. Very frustrating
  • Anyone taken Zyrtec? I haven't yet but it always helps with my allergies. I need to call my doc and find out if it's safe but definitely ready to be able to breathe again!
  • My doc said that Zyrtec was good for allergies. I am having a similar issue I thought it was allergies, then I thought sinus infection, now I think its just a cold. Of course I started coughing cause I know some phlegm got in my chest. Were going away this weekend and I'm super bummed that I might be sick the whole time.
  • I'm going thru the same thing! I'm 6w4d and last I couldn't sleep I was congested so bad... I'm going to buy the saline spray today, hopefully I can get a goodnight's rest.
