I have been sneezing a lot. Sometimes it pulls the muscles in my belly and it hurts. I've had a stuffy nose... you know, sinus problems! Anyone experiencing this?
pregnancy can make sinus problems a lot worse- and you cannot take meds so that also makes the problems worse. You can use Saline Nasal Spray (super cheap and found in CVS type places) there is NO medication in it, just a saline spray. It helps to keep your membranes moist and thus, less sneezing and sinus problems. I highly recommend it. Ocean is one brand name, but the store brand is cheaper and works just as good.
I've read that being pregnant can make your sinus membranes swell which causes increased stuffiness and sinus problems. I myself noticed that I was sneezing a lot early on in my pregnancy (I would have a round of sneezes at least once a day) but they've become less frequent in my recent weeks (I'm now 30 weeks). I'm not really sure though if it was just allergies, the pregnancy or a little of both???
