Is nasal congestion a symptom of pregnancy?

Answer 1

Your nasal passages have no direct connection to your ovaries and uterus. In otherwords, NO they are symptoms of a cold.

During pregnancy many women complain of nasal stuffiness, decreased or increased saliva and nose bleeds. This happens in many pregnancies as is fairly common in twin pregnancies as pregnancy hormones (estrogen) can make your mucus membranes swell. It has a clinical name also: rhinitis of pregnancy.

Answer 2

Probably not, but it could be due to rhinitis which is more common during pregnancy. But it that is your only symptom you are probably fine. Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include: * missed period * tender/swollen breasts * change in color of the breasts * fatigue * nausea/vomiting * increased sense of smell * weight gain Here is a link to a website that will calculate the probability of your pregnancy: http://www.thepregnancytest.com/

Answer 3

Yes, id say it could be. During my pregnancy my nose became stuffy very early on and lasted pretty much the remainder of my pregnancy. It could be Allergies, which could also develop during pregnancy tho. I have never had any allergies during my life, but while i was pregnant, i became severely allergic to cats, and it went away right after the baby was born. If its out of the norm for you to feel stuffed up, you should get checked.
