nasal congestion and snoring
For the last couple of weeks my hubby has been complaining that I am making funny breathing noises in my sleep and sometimes snoring. I never used to snore and my breathing when sleeping was never a problem.
I've looked it up and apparently
"Pregnant women commonly suffer nasal congestion that can also make it difficult to sleep. During pregnancy, the body releases hormones that can sometimes dry out the lining in the nose, making it feel inflamed and swollen. "
Has anyone else had a problem with this and if so any suggestions on what to do about it ? I'm stressing out at night now becuase I'm worried my breathing is keeping OH awake.
thanks Suz x

seriously thou, not sure if there is anything u can do. maybe a saline nasal spray to keep it lubricated? or maybe those funny strip things ppl use to help reduce snoring. I suffer with my nose during pregnancy, gets very stuffy and I'm more prone to nose bleeds.

don't know how to stop it though, sorry.
Might try a dose of sinex if it gets really bad. S x
When my sister was pregnant she used to snore like a freight train! But then she tried this product (http://www.topsnoringsolution.com/snorestop-extinguisher/) and it was almost an immediate change. She stopped snoring right away. It was helpful for both her and her husband. You only can handle one thing keeping you up at night, haha!
