Not due in March but easily could have a full term baby in March..but wanted to tell you I have had had this since day 1...well since i've know I was pregnant. Esp. on my right...if I fall asleep on my right side im completely blocked. My midwife said the same thing.

I am constantly blowing my nose and running out of tissues. It's almost like a bad allergy.

I always got this before I even knew I was pg. In fact my mom told me she got it as did my grandma and my great grandma and so on. They use to joke if you got a cold you got pg.

Rhinitis of Pregnancy

Funny name for major stuffiness during pregnancy....anyone else experiencing this? I had it really bad around 20 weeks, then it seemed to get better. Now, it is back full force. My Dr. says it is due to increased blood flow and estrogen. I did not have this problem with my two boys. Also, some women have told me it goes away almost immediately following birth. Trying not to complain, but it is making it even more difficult to sleep these days - as if I needed help. Hope everyone is doing well!!
