Stuffed

Like quite a few pregnant women, I have a stuffy nose almost all the time! It's not terribly bothersome, but I wouldn't exactly say I'm enjoying it either. Since I'm mostly breathing through my mouth, it gets so dry that have to constantly be drinking water. Conclusion: stuffy noses must be God's way of keeping pregnant women hydrated.

I have had the same problem through both pregnancies!!! You are the only person I've found who says the same thing!
One thing that helps me a lot is the dreaded Neti Pot. For real.

Oooh, the dreaded Neti Pot... I shouldn't be so scared of those things, but I am. Unless we're talking about air, the nose is an exit only orifice. I'm sure I'd gag and choke if I put liquid up it! I'll let you know if I get desperate enough to try it! :)

I don't remember having too much trouble with my nose, but I DEFINITELY had to drink lots of water! I don't seem to observe too many other pregnant woman drinking as much as I felt I needed to. Good for you! Your body needs it!
