the common cold

[Kelly02420]

is it me or does it seem like when allergies flare up, it's so much harder to deal with during pregnancy than before pregnancy?

I don't have allergies but have been congested my whole pregnancy and it can be annoying.  As soon as I lie down to sleep I can't breath through my nose, my nose is constantly runny through the day and I need to keep cough drops/hard candy on me at all times.  Hardly the worst thing imaginable but certainly a bit annoying!

Yes. I deal with hayfever and a rash in the summer. Luckily last time i was pregnant my rash didnt flare up bad, so im hoping the same this time. But yes just my hayfever drives me insane. My eyes are always watering, im forever blowing my nose, and i cant stop sneezing! This is baby no 2 for me and sneezing is a big issue as 7 times out of 10 i pee a little :( haha
