Im a few days before my period and suddenly got a runny nose and blocked feeling. We are ttc so my mind immediately went there. Can a cold be an early pregnancy thing or am i just falling sick normally?
I panicked so much when I got a stuffy nose and sneezing right after my missed period, thinking I was falling sick! But it's actually very normal and called pregnancy rhinitis. It happens due to high estrogen levels, so don't worry.
Many women do feel congested or get a mild cold in the early weeks because of hormonal changes and low immunity. It is a very common but lesser-known early sign. Just drink warm water and get plenty of rest.
Yes, it absolutely can be! The "pregnancy rhinitis" is real, and my nose was blocked for weeks in the beginning! Take some steam and stay cozy, your body is doing amazing work!
Yes, dear, sometimes a mild cold or stuffy nose happens because of the hormonal changes in early days. Just rest well, drink warm soups, and take care of yourself.
Honestly, yes, a cold-like feeling is quite common because your immunity naturally drops in early pregnancy to protect the embryo. Don't go popping random cold meds, just stick to steam inhalation.
I don't know the medical reason, but in my experience, I got a bad stuffy nose right in the first month. I just took steam ghar pe and avoided cold things, and it went away in a few days.
I just delivered a few months back and literally my first symptom was a weird dry cold and blocked nose before my test came positive. I thought it was just seasonal weather change, but it was the baby!
