    Unhappy Constant runny nose/hayfever symptoms

    I dont know what gives but since the start of this pregnancy, I have constantly got a runny nose. I also have regular 'hold the belly' sneezing attacks throughout the day. It's like I have a mild cold all the time... any thoughts or advice or is this just another, 'yep suck it up' pregnancy symptom?

    Possibly

    My nose was definitely more sensitive and I had blood noses which I never get otherwise.

    Yep, unfortunately it's just another lovely side affect of being pregnant
    I've been constantly congested since I found out I was pregnant. I do find a saline nasal spray fabulous! My nose gets very dried out and I can't blow, but with a couple of sprays of the saline I can clear it out.

    I have the exact same symptoms, and have had them from the beginning of my pregnancy.
    I use Otrivin nasal spray which my obstetrician reccommened. Expecially when you are all clogged and blocked, it unblocks your nose at once!
    You can buy it over the counter at the Pharmacy

    Excellent thanks girls, will give the spray a go. Although I dont really like the feeling of them going up my nose, its probably the lesser of the two evils

    yep. Never ending hayfever has been a common thread with my pregnancies. Even now I feel a sneeze attack building up. *sigh*
