Saline nasal spray did the trick.

You can put Vic's in a wax burner & relax by it. I'm crazy about not taking meds lol. Get your vitamins too ! Boost your immune system with fruits and veggies

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention I used to apply little bit of vicks VapoRub under my nose to help me breathe more easily. I was soo stuffed & couldn't breathe, that helped me breathe. Do it night when your going to sleep, the smell helped me breathe & fall asleep.

Omg, mine was soo terrible. 1st & 2nd trimester, I was miserable with congested, running nose, coughing, massive headaches. I was given list of medicine that were safe during pregnancy but I didn't take any. I dealt with it until it finally went away as it got toward 3rd trimester. Although medicine were safe, I just didn't want to risk anything. But ask your doctor what would help.

Sudafed worked wonders for me. I was miserable for a week before i told my doctor and she said regular Sudafed is fine for you and baby. That night felt so much relief
