Sure. When your'e pregnant you congested
more often and more easily.
Increased levels of pregnancy hormones
like estrogen are thought to cause
swelling in the mucous membranes lining
the nose and may even cause you to make
more mucous. What's more, your blood
volume increases by 40 percent during
pregnancy, causing your blood vessels to
expand to accommodate all that extra
fluid, which can lead to swollen nasal
membranes as well.
Pregnancy can also aggravate your
allergies or cause you to be sensitive to
allergens and other irritants even if
you've never been before. Whether you
think your congestion is allergy-related
or not, it can help a lot to avoid any
potential irritants, such as cigarette
smoke and alcohol (which you should
already be avoiding!) as well as aerosols
and sudden temperature changes.
Haha, because I wanna know what it feels
like! Everyone always has a bloody nose
at least once and I never have and I just
wanna experience. It sounds exciting.
