Nasal Congestion during pregnancy

Nasal Congestion during pregnancy

I am 6 weeks pregnant and have a severly stuffy nose.  I have been researching afrin during pregnancy and there's so much conflicting information.  Most sites say it's ok to use here and there others say not at all.  Has anyone used afrin in early pregnancy?  Was your baby born healthy?

I don't think I used it in early pregnancy, but I did later on in pregnancy.  Not much or many times, but I just got SUPER sick one time and nothing would work.  Tylenol Sinus is safe throughout pregnancy though.  You can either ask your doctor or even a pharmacist.

I used saline nasal spray until one week before my second trimester and said screw it I'm close enough and started using Afrin and I've been using it on and off the entire pregnancy and my OB said it was fine. I'd try the saline spray and a humidifier and if that doesn't work then ask your OB about afrin
