I'm only about 15 weeks pregnant and not only am I getting up every 2 hours to pee, but I'm also having to clear my nose of all the mucus! Seriously just as often, has this happened to anyone before or is there any hope for clearing it up. I read up a little on it and found out its called Mucusitis... is there any chance I'll breathe normal again while pregnant?

it may or may not clear up, also after you have had the baby it might take that before it ends. If it gets worse tell the doctor and they might advise soemthing however saline nasil spray should not do any harm its salt water type and safe enough for you that might help

Totally normal..and yes, it will get better. Your doctor can give you a prescription for a nasal inhaler that might help. I got a prescription for one when I was about 18 weeks and ended up not filing it because within a couple of days...it had gone away. Now, I am 32 weeks and occasionally I will get a stuffy or runny nose..usually when I first wake up, but it isn't too bad and it goes away pretty quickly. As far as the peeing thing goes....Hate to tell ya...but it just gets worse as you get bigger! At night, put a night light in your bathroom and that might help with being able to get back to sleep sooner. If you turn on lights when you get up at night...it will wake you up more. Just wait until your last trimester! You will get up to go pee and then by the time you get comfortable again...you'll have to pee again!
Good Luck and Congratulations!!

It certainly hasn't cleared up for me yet! I'm 33 weeks and still stuffy and runny. It's so not fun. I'm not sure how long it will take to go away after the baby is born, but I hope it's fast. I"ve gone thru more boxes of tissues in the last 6 months...
As for peeing, it all depends on the baby's position. hopefully, it will get off your bladder for some of the time. but that changes too.

as soon as you have the baby everything for the most part will go back to normal. When i was pregnant i swear i was up every 45-1hr going to the bathroom. I remember it being so hard to breath that it caused me to snore. The snoring was so loud and so bad that I woke myself up. Thank goodness that is over. But like i said, once the baby comes you will be able to breath a easier.

I'm only 8 weeks pregnat and I have the same problem. I think I know where every bathroom in this town and the next two towns over are. It will get better I am told. So just hang in there

Its normal for pregnancy. All the extra blood stimulates extra mucus production in the sinuses.
Use a saline spray a few times a day, that helps a lot.

Sorry sweetie...I blew my nose EVERY time I went to the bathroom when I was pregnant. Not only could I not breathe right, I knew where every public restroom was in a 25 mile radius. :-)
If it's so bad it's imparing your ability to sleep, I'd call your OB, just to be on the safe side.

Its perfectly normal and odds are yes as you progress in your pregnancy you will be able to breath normal. Happened to me wasnt the most attractive thing in the world but in the end your blessed with a beautiful child so none of this will matter the first time you hold him/her.

Most likely not...seems your body develops extra fluids besides blood when your PG. It sucks...I know, I've become one of those snifflers that annoy the sh*t out of me. I'm always like why don't they just blow their nose!!!! But damn if I were to blow my nose everytime it felt a little runny, I wouldn't get anything else done! And its worse at night, I snort and snot all night long.

Impossible to tell. The body does strange things when you're pregnant.
Good luck!
