It is probably only generally related to being pregnant, that is, when you are pregnant, your immune system has to work over time. The constant congestion probably means that you need to boost your immune system. Make sure that you take your pre-natal vitamins faithfully. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially deep green vegetables. Avoid any "empty" calories like sugar and refined carbs. Be careful about using herbal remedies--some can be harmful to your baby. Do some research and talk to your doctor before you try anything new.

I am 21 weeks and have had a stuffy nose and sinus infection since I got pregnant. Get away from the salt water spray. You can use a real nasal spray, that is what my doctor prescribed. I feel your pain, but it is normal for pregnant women to remain congested their entire pregnancy. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

Nasal Congestion is very normal during pregnancy. Do a search about it on the internet. You will make yourself feel a lot better. I can assure you though, it is perfectly normal.

Yes-- It is normal but usually will go away. Some people keep a head cold the whole time and then some people never have it! Good Luck!
