Your blood vessels dilate in pregnancy. If you feel otherwise well, this is probably the cause.

I had this last night, I'm 19 weeks. It was SO annoying. I have had a cold recently, could be linked to that I guess.

Ash i think it's worth having a nurse or doctor take a look inside to check it's not infected, but if you don't have a temperature and it's not agony then it's probably just a bit congested and/or some weird pregnancy thing.
