Congestion

[misshannah]

I'm 9wks today and suffering from terrible congestion. It's putting me off eating and really making me feel sick. What can I take if anything to help ease congestion? No cough or sore throat.

It’s a common symptom of pregnancy I’m afraid! I’ve been bunged up the whole time and now 22 weeks! You can’t take any decongestants, I’ve just lived with it. Wish I could taste my food...

Saline spray, Vicks vaporub, steam.

Try hot lemon and honey and maybe suck on a polo.

Welcome to pregnancy!!

Also live by this one rule when it comes to medicine:: If it ain't paracetamol. It ain't allowed!!

I'm another person who has suffered all the way through, I'm now 34 weeks.

There isn't really anything that'll help unfortunately.

Use a saline nasal spray. Sterimar is great. I had a horrible cold last month and used it and I think it probably actually worked better than the decongestants I would take if I wasn't pregnant.

Netti pot. Every morning.
