is this a fact?

Question

when yo first become pregnant is it ture yo have cold like feeling like stuffy or runny nose?

Answer 1

Yes, many pregnant women find their noses get very stuffy noses--as many as 20-30% of all pregnant women.
It is thought to be caused by swelling of the mucus membranes from the high amounts of estrogen and also when you are pregnant your body has a higher volume of blood circulating.

Answer 2

It's not a fact, but I do know some people who have had that right before they found out they were expecting. But don't base whether or not your pregnant on a stuffy nose.

Answer 3

I never had cold like feelings when I was first pregnant. With my second pregnancy though, I suffered really bad allergies towards the end of my pregnancy. And I have never had allergies in my life. After I had my son the allergies went away.

Answer 4

Yes you can get a runny nose it is due to an increase in your body's mucus. Some women also experience more cervical mucus while pregnant.

Answer 5

actually with my first baby I got real stuffy early on and it lasted pretty much my whole pregnancy off and on. i read somewhere that it happens to a small percentage of pregnant women. it was annoying but i gut used to it.

Answer 6

sometimes when you're pregnant it feels like you're stuffy all of the time because you have a higher blood volume and it causes your mucus membranes in your nose and vagina to excrete more fluids. it's normal to feel that way

Answer 7

It can be a symptom of pregnancy due to swelling of the nasal passages. If in doubt take a test or contact your health care provider

Answer 8

It can't be a fact because I didn't feel like that with either of my pregnancies.

Answer 9

I never experienced that with either pregnancy but everyone is different

Answer 10

i dont think it happens to everyone but it could possibly happen b/c of the enviroment your around
