My nose has been blocked and runny for weeks now and my gynac said its pregnancy rhinitis, not a cold. But now im scared of passing it to my toddler. It doesnt spread right? Just want to be sure.
No, it's not contagious at all. My gynac explained pregnancy rhinitis is just nasal congestion caused by the hormones and increased blood flow, not by any infection. It cleared up for me after delivery, so it's harmless even though the blocked nose is annoying.
Oh I have had a stuffy nose for weeks and was confused if I was sick or could pass it on. So it's just hormones na? That's a relief, did anyone else feel like they had a constant cold?
Not contagious, it's purely hormonal congestion, no germs involved. A saline nasal spray and a humidifier helped me a lot. It goes away after the baby comes, dont worry.
