has this happened to anyone else?

I have what I'm pretty sure is a clogged tear duct. I know that there can be an increase in sinus drainage during pregnancy and I didn't know if it was common.

I can't get in to see my doctor until Monday, so I'm wondering what I can do in the meantime. I apply pressure often to drain whatever it is that's coming out (it's green), and sleep with a wet compress. it just hurts so bad!  my eye is swollen and tender.

I'm guessing it is probably infected so I'll need an antibiotic, but what else can I do now?

Warm compresses 10 min each 4 times a day wash lid with baby shampoo see your eye doctor

The way you describe it is exactly how my styes were. Hope you find relief soon!

I used to get styes a lot in my teens, but this isn't the same. it's very red and extremely inflamed. my husband even asked yesterday why I had a lazy eye (he isn't the type to be delicate in such situations).
but if you compare my two tear ducts, it is much larger than my other eye. I think I might still have the drops from when my youngest was a newborn and had clogged ducts. but I wouldnt want to use them if they aren't safe, but doctor can't tell me for sure what it is without seeing me.
thanks for your help, ladies!

Make some camomile tea and get a cotton ball and put few drops in your eyes.  It will help ease the pain n swollen. Get wash cloth and soak in tea and leave towel on your eye for few min.

Is it a stye? I have had those a couple times. If so fish oil and flax seed oil vitamins help. Would double check with OB to make sure they are safe, but they help unclog the pores wonderfully.

Keep the cold compress on it.  Is it red or pink at all?  Itchy?  Maybe there is an over the counter drop you can use in the meantime.  I sure hate you can't get in until Monday.

anybody? I was hoping someone knew something because this is quite painful
