congestion

Help! I get really congested when I sleep and it causes me to not get full hours of sleep. It's actually annoying. What do you ladies use to help with congestion?

I use a humidifier and essential oil diffuser with oil to help with breathing.  It has helped me alot. I am still stuffed up some but not as badly when there is nothing running.

Congestion is common in pregnancy due to hormones and increased blood volume. There's not much you can do to help it because it's from swelling and not build up of mucus. A humidifier can help a little.

Vapo rub and keep my head slightly elevated. You can try a saline nasal flush too to clear out clogged sinuses
