Might sound a little strange, has anyone else experienced this in their pregnancy?
i'm 16 weeks pregnant now, and for the past few days, everyday- throughout the day i sneeze and have a runny nose
it's getting be abit of a problem, i can't carry out a full conversation without sneezing a good 5 or 6 times!
i'd say in a whole day i sneeze a good 100+ times! D:
i've never suffered with hayfever or any other allergies :/

thanks xox

My doctor told me to start taking Zyrtec each day. I sneeze like crazy, my nose bugs me all the time, and I have bad asthma. He said it can happen in pregnancy.

I sneeze quite a bit.. not as much as you are, but for me it is a lot and it is everyday. Doesn't matter if I am inside or outside I am sneezing.

I was told sneezing and runny noses were a part of being pregnant. I am constantly sneezing and have my entire pregnancy. The runny nose isn't from allergies but because swelling in the mucous membranes lining the nose and will cause you to make more mucus. It is more common than you'd think. Just one of those things you get to deal with while being pregnant.

i'm 16 weeks prego also and I sneeze all the time, at least 6 times in a row most of the time. but my doc said its a normal symptom of pregnacy.

You produce more mucus when your pregnant... (saliva, and sweat too) isn't it so much fun? lol

I've had to be put on meds twice for sinus infections since I got pregnant and was told to pretty much just get used to. I was also told to take Zyrtc every day. You really need to invest in a netipot, it does wonders for me! It was weird/odd the first few times I used it, but now I wish I had gotten one years ago. Good luck!!!
