Bad cold and blocked nose since 2 days, im 7 months pregnant. Was thinking of taking steam vapour to feel thoda better. Is inhaling vapour okay during this time?
Plain steam inhalation is generally safe, but please don't add any strong medicated capsules or oils to the water without checking with your gynac first. Your safety comes first!
I remember taking plain steam all the time during my pregnancy when I had allergies. My baby is a toddler now and doing great, so don't worry, plain steam is completely harmless and helpful.
Oh, having a cold during pregnancy is so uncomfortable, I feel you! Taking plain warm water steam is completely safe and will give you so much relief, please take care of yourself.
When I had a bad cold, my mom used to give me plain hot water steam twice a day. It is a very safe and gentle way to clear your nose without taking any medicines.
Plain steam inhalation is the best and cheapest way to get relief from cold. Don't run to the doctor immediately and pay high consultation fees just for a normal stuffy nose, steam works great.
Since we try to be extra careful during pregnancy, plain steam is a very safe option. Just avoid adding strong external chemicals to the water and keep it simple.
