Hi all,
I'm 6 weeks pregnant today.
Problem -- I've been addicted to Otrivin (nasal spray) for years. Since learning I was pregnant two weeks ago, I've stopped using it during the day entirely, however at night, once I lie down, my sinuses get so clogged up I can't breathe at all and thus I can't sleep.
I've been using the tiniest bit in one nostril just to allow a breathing space, but I want to stop that, too -- I've done all the research and I know that not enough studies have been done to rule out risk to the fetus.
Please help. I've tried saline sprays, and they do absolutely nothing. Is there anything else that can help me through thiss transition?
