Stuffy nose/ Sneezing

Hello All

Question:
I am 6wks preg ( 3rd after 2 mc ).
I am constantly sneezing and my nose is so stuffy i need to invest in a tissue company, i am blowing my nose like every 5 min.
I know it's not a cold because i have no aches and no cough or sore throuhgt. I looked on line, but nothing to say these were signs of pregnancy.
Also, my boobs are killing me, like i can't wait to take off the bra after all day. When should i notice a change in size. I am already a D cup and really don't look forward for getting much larger I am only 5ft.
Any responses are appreciated.

Thank You

Try a saline solution spray for your nose.  I am congested as well and that is helping me.

I take Benadryl.  Not only does it help with my stuffiness, but it also helps you sleep at night.

You should really try not to TAKE anything until your 12 weeks.  All of the organs are in their first stages of development until the 4th month.  If your miserable, call your dr., and ask them.  It is safe to use the saline solution.  

I'm starting my 6th week, and my boobs hurt really bad.  They are growing well...I have at best a full B...so, I'm overjoyed to see the 'girls' growing! lol!  
Nausea is beginning, and I'm welcoming it.  I lost a couple of lbs...nothing sounds good to eat, and I always have that I'm not full feeling.  

Sorry to hear about your nose, it can be miserable!

Benadryl doesnt cross the blood/brain barrier so the baby doesnt get any of the medicine at all.  

As far as boobs, I'm already well endowed, I'm a pretty full C cup or small D cup.  Mine never grow during pregnancy, but LET ME TELL YOU, after the birth of my last daughter 11 months ago, when the milk comes in and isnt use (I dont breastfeed) they swell to at least a Z cup lol and hurt worse than anything I can imagine.  

I can remember accidentally eating a No-Bake right after the birth of my daughter.  I do NOT recommend chocolate then.

Here is what I read in my BabyTalk Mom-to-be Magazine. I also have suffered with a runny nose.  Sounds like it is all part of being pregnant.

SYMPTOMS: You may feel like you have a perpetual cold,and blowing your nose gets downright gross.

CAUSE: Your increased hormones and blood production cause the mucous membranes to swell, dry, and bleed.

HOW TO DEAL: Use saline nose drops, drink plenty of liquids, and run a humidifier.  If you have a nosebleed, don't tilt your head back.  Keep your head straight and pinch the nostrils closed until the bleeding stops, usually about five minutes.  Put ice over the bridge of your nose and pinch again if necessary.  Call Doc if bleeding persist.

Hope this helps.

This is so strange I did not know that a common sniffles and constant sneezing was so common in pregnancy! I have a 7year old and I never had this. But now just finding out I am pregnant today! I have been having sneezing and sniffles for a little over a week! The sore breast just like the first child! Owww.. do they hurt! Hang in there do what I do keep a box of kleenex in my desk at work then a small pack in my purse!

I also have a large chest size and was NOT looking forward to getting even bigger. But I have to say, I never noticed a huge difference (perhaps they couldn't get any bigger:). It was just kind of like pms bbs. And actually when my belly started to get bigger it felt like my bbs were small, so that was nice. Good Luck to you.
