Is anyone else experiencing hay fever/stuffy nose symptoms?

[Sarah_sun]

For the last week I have had nose congestion which has been bearable.

For the last few days this has changed to constant sneezes, nose itching and a runny nose. I could almost liken it to hay fever.

I've read that this can be a symptom of pregnancy but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Yes, me in both pregnancies. I have constant catarrh at the back of my throat as well which makes me feel sick. I'm hoping it will go, it did last time at around 13 weeks.

I'm so relieved to hear this as i thought that I was allergic to something!

Any tips on how to calm it down? Xx

It was my first pregnancy symptom, even before I found out I was pregnant. It only lasted a week or 2 for me though. xx
