sneezing

Im 15 Weeks and since ive been pregnant I sneeze about 6 times a day maybe. Before I was preg, maybe twice a week. Lol. I cant find anything that sets me off. Its just at random times. Just wondering if anyone else is the same.

It happens because pregnant women's nasal cavities expand during pregnancy and we are prone to stuffy /runny noses and nose bleeds. It can be anything from normal dust to perfume ....I dont know how long it lasts.

I have this problem a lot. And it happens everytime I drive somewhere. Other times to but I can count on it while driving. it's nuts. And quite frankly a little scary. :)

I knew pregnancy messed with your mucus membranes, but didn't realize it caused sneezing too! Was working outside the other day and kept sneezing so hard my knit cap would fall off!

I was told that you have extra estrogen in your body so you are going to sneeze more then before.   Which is not good for me.  I had a nasal polyp taken out in April so I already had a running nose!  oh well it supposedly goes away as soon as the baby is out.

Omg good question! I'm 12 weeks and I've also been sneezing too often... Like 6 or more times a day! I wish someone else has an answer for that. I just felt like I was the only one
