The past couple of nights I have not been sleeping well due to nasal congestion. I hate sleeping with my mouth open, but the congestion has forced me to because I can't breathe through my nose at all. I am a little over 15w, and just this morning I got an email from What to Expect (I have the app) discussing nasal congestion, so at least I am on schedule! We have a humidifier and I've been using a neti pot, but nothing seems to really work. When will the nasal congestion go away?!

Bummer
Have you tried using Breathe Right strips to help open up your nose?
-
with DS i had nasal congestion and nose bleeds, basically until he was born. and i currently have it with #2.... :o( sorry i'm no help
-
Mine lasted the majority of my pregnancy.
-
@BabyBoecksMom: No, but I have some left over from when I had a cold so I will be using one tonight!
@sarbear: @pelikila: I was afraid that y'all would say that!
-
Ugh. Mine hasn't been that bad but I wake up and the amount of garbage that comes out of my nose is totally gross....
-
I'm 33 weeks and still have it. ): I'm pretty sure it hasn't helped the snoring situation either...
I can echo BabyBoecksMom and say the Breathe Right strips help, though I always find they don't stay on my nose through the night. At least I still sleep a little sounder!

When you deliver
Pregnancy is so glamorous!
-
Mine didn't go away until I delivered. It sucks.
-
The Breathe Right Advanced strips are awesome- those helped me a lot.
-
I am cooking #3 and all three times, from the pregnancy test until deliver.
-
Mine disappeared the day I gave birth. Sorry :(.
-
34 weeks and it's alive and well. Sorry to not have a more encouraging answer. Mine has seemed to improve or worsen at various stages, though, so maybe you won't have it constantly!

Could it be partially due to allergies? I have allergies normally, but nothing horrible, but last week, I was so "ill" I went to see the doctor because my congestion was out of control and couldn't breathe (unless it was out of my mouth -ew). Turns out, I just had really, really bad allergies. She told me to take some nasonex and allegra. 2 days later, I'm feeeling TONS better. Still have boogers, but at least I can breathe through my nose again, and sleep!!

@Alivoo01: I don't normally have allergies, and it's only nasal congestion...no coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, etc. The breathe right strips helped a little last night, but it's going to be a longgg 24 weeks if this continues until delivery!

This was my first early pregnancy symptom! It hasn't gone away, but sometimes it isn't so horrible and I can actually breathe. Breathe right strips help me fall asleep, but they peel right off after a few hours and I wake up immediately so I've stopped using them. I just make sure to clear my nose out as best I can before bedtime and when I wake up to pee I do the same. It works okay.. but man I wish I could take decongestants!
