Anyone else have a plugged nose through their preg?

Hi,  I'm 14 weeks along and it seems like I always have a cold, like I can sneeze 20x in a row and still feel stuffed up.  Even before I found out the news I just thought I had a cold.

I've heard that this can happen, but does anyone know why it happens?

Any weird tips for helping with my 'cold'?
Thanks:)

I'm 23 weeks 4 days. My nose has been stuffed up and been getting bloody noses. Also been sneezing more than normal and coughing up flem. My doctor said that its all normal. When you pregnant your membranes in your nose go crazy. :)

I was told by my doc that ur bodily fluids increase while preggers n that includes ur sinus fluid..some women feel more affected by it than others and it can be diff from pregnancy to pregnancy!! Out of my 4 pregnancies, my second I had to take claritin ( doc prescribed) daily or I couldn't breathe!! It was awful, my other pregnancies I was stuffed now n then but never constantly! :-)
