My nose has been blocked for weeks now and there is no cold or fever, just constant stuffiness. Someone told me its pregnancy rhinitis. It is so annoying na, does it go away on its own or stays till delivery? how long did it last for u?
I totally understand how frustrating it is to not be able to breathe or sleep comfortably. It usually lasts throughout the pregnancy for some, but don't worry, the moment you hold your baby, all this struggle will feel totally worth it.
Ugh, that annoying stuffy nose! Honestly, for me, it lasted till the day I delivered. The moment the baby came out, I could breathe again, but now I don't have time to sleep to enjoy that clear nose, haha!
Oh, that blocked nose is so irritating! Don't stress too much about it, it's just the pregnancy hormones acting up. It usually clears up within a week or two after delivery, so hang in there!
I had this terrible stuffy nose during my 2nd trimester. My mom used to give me warm steam inhalation with a drop of pudina oil, and it went away slowly after delivery. Just be patient and take care of yourself.
Make sure you don't take any over-the-counter cough syrups or lozenges without asking your doctor, as some have hidden sugars or chemicals. It's just a hormonal thing and will resolve after delivery.
No need to buy expensive sprays or medicine. Just do steam inhalation twice a day and use simple saline nasal drops after asking your doc. It mostly goes away after the baby is born.
