throat clearing

[elliemcx]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if this could possibly be a pregnancy symptom? I find myself constantly needing to clear my throat. I had a bad cough and cold about a month ago but this symptom is still here so don't know if it was connected with the cough or a symptom of pregnancy. I'm sixteen weeks if that makes any difference.

Thanks

I was about to come on here and ask the same thing! I'm 6 weeks, and my throat is being really weird. I've lost my voice today, and keep clearing my throat, but don't feel ill or like I'm catching a cold/flu. Maybe it is a symptom!

I've had a cough/sore throat throughout pregnancy now 38 weeks... Not sure if this helps or not.

Ok so i'm not on my own then. More pregnancy suprises😂

I've been thinking this. I've had horrible phlegm for months. Hoping it'll all be over soon!

Me too, needing to clear throat constantly and voice had gone quite nasally! I just generally feel very mucousy, even though I only really had a mild cold before Christmas. I'm not coughing all the time but I wake up most nights with a really hacking coughing fit. Like I'm trying to get rid of the junk. Apparently more mucous is a symptom. Oh the joys!

Me too. Keep waking in the night feeling like I’m choking. Clearing my throat constantly and losing my voice temporarily. I’m 14 weeks and it’s still happening 🙈

It’s quite common in pregnancy I think to have more mucous in the nasal passages, and this could be dripping down into your throat slowly! Hence the coughing !
