congestion

If you’re worried, you should try clearing your baby’s nasal passage with a rubber bulb syringe. It’s an easy procedure and it gets even easier every time you do it.

After a few days of feeling congested during your pregnancy with no other symptoms, you might realize that your stuffy nose is not going away any time soon. Congestion during pregnancy is common and it affects one in every three women.

As the body prepares to take care of your growing baby, blood volume increases. This increase in blood volume can cause swelling of nasal tissues, which are rich with capillaries moving blood throughout the nasal passages.

Sinus congestion can be treated during pregnancy, but women should not expect a complete recovery until after the baby is born.
