Hi,

I have a bit of a cold atm. Nothing serious. But my nose is really blocked and it's driving me insane. It's not too bad while I'm standing up, but I can't breath at all when I'm lying down. It's not actually runny, or anything, just swollen sinuses. Saline drops don't do ANYTHING. So I was wondering, why is it that they say not to use decongestants? I would love to use a nasal spray, but as far as I know, they say not to use them in pregnancy... does anybody know why? What is it in those sprays that might be harmful?

By the way, I'm 9 weeks pregnant.

Thanks, Saša
