My nose stays blocked almost all day since past two weeks and at night i cant even sleep properly. No cold or fever, just stuffy. Cant take normal medicines na so what do u all do for this?
Oh god, dealing with a blocked nose on top of zero sleep was my absolute nightmare! I used a humidifier in my room and slept with three pillows stacked under my head. It made me look like a sleeping mummy but at least I could breathe slightly!
My little one is a toddler now, but I still remember how frustrating it was to sleep with a stuffed nose! Don't worry, this pregnancy congestion goes away almost immediately after delivery. Until then, elevate your head with a high pillow and take steam.
Because of my PCOS history, I was extremely cautious about any medication during my pregnancy. For a blocked nose, taking normal steam twice a day is the safest bet. Please don't use any over-the-counter sprays without checking with your doctor.
God bless you, dear, a blocked nose can be so irritating when you are trying to rest. Try to do some gentle breathing exercises if you can, and take warm steam. Stay positive, keep your mind calm, and let your body heal naturally.
While a blocked nose is normal, please check with your gynac before using any medicated drops or inhalers. Some decongestants aren't safe during pregnancy. For now, only stick to simple steam inhalation without adding anything to the water.
I know how every small discomfort can feel scary, especially after a long IVF journey. A blocked nose is very common due to increased blood flow in your nasal passages. Taking steam inhalation is completely safe and comforting, so try that tonight.
Yaar, pregnancy rhinitis is actually a real thing! I used to get a completely blocked nose every single night. Just use a hot water steam or those basic saline drops, but don't use Otrivin or anything without asking your doc first.
Blocked nose during pregnancy is actually quite common due to hormonal changes, but since you are pregnant, don't take any random nasal sprays. I had thyroid issues and learned that keeping your doctor updated on every little symptom is best. Just check with your gynac during your regular follow-ups for a safe remedy.
I had severe nasal congestion during my third trimester, and it can be so exhausting. Taking warm saline drops (like Nasoclear) was what my doctor recommended and it worked gently. You can also try taking a warm shower just before sleeping to clear your nasal passages.
During my GD pregnancy, I avoided taking any unnecessary pills. For a blocked nose, drinking warm ginger water or plain warm soups helped me a lot. Just make sure you check with your dietitian or gynac before adding herbal teas to your routine.
