"I'm stuffed up but I'm not sick!"
symptoms: You may feel like you have a perpetual cold, and blowing your nose gets downright gross.
cause: Your increased hormones and blood production cause the mucous membranes to swell, dry, and bleed.
how to deal: Use saline nose drops, drink plenty of liquids, and run a humidifier. If you have a nosebleed, don't tilt your head back. Keep your head straight and pinch the nostrils closed until the bleeding stops (about five minutes). Put ice over the bridge of your nose and pinch again, if necessary. If the bleeding persists, call your doctor.
Now that you're pregnant, you probably have questions and concerns about how to safely treat symptoms when you're sick. This handy chart shows you what to do (and what
