Blocked Nose During First Trimester

Usually it start from 16 week if pregnancy and will stay till end of it. It is cause by high levels of the pregnancy hormones, estrogen and progesterone,  increase blood flow to all of your body's mucous membranes — including the nose. The mucous membranes swell and soften, leading to a stuffy nose. The constant blowing and sneezing produces the occasional nosebleed. You may also develop postnasal drip, which in turn can occasionally cause coughing or gagging at night. To combat the dryness in your nose, dab a little petroleum jelly in each nostril using a cotton swab and you can have a humidifier to help ease the symptoms but you can’t really do much to prevent them. Hope the above help. Take good care and God bless you and baby💙
