I've been meaning to write about this for a while now but keep forgetting, until now...I just sneezed! Pretty much since December 7, when I found out I was expecting, I feel like I have not stopped sneezing! I think I have probably sneezed more in the past 16 weeks than I have all of 2010!! Anyone reading this ever experience this during their pregnancy!? So it go so bad that I thought I would look it up. I had never heard of sneezing being a symptom of pregnancy and other than this annoyance I have had what I would consider a pretty perfect pregnancy (don't worry...I am knocked on wood)! What I found is a little thing called Pregnancy Rhinitis. Uh...ok!? Pregnancy Rhinitis is the stuffy, uncomfortable nasal condition that afflicts many pregnant women during pregnancy. It has no environmental causes and generally begins sometimes during the first trimester of a pregnancy, but can occur at anytime during pregnancy. Pregnancy Rhinitis can last for the pregnancy's entire duration or even a few weeks after you have given birth. O.M.G. I hope this does not last until after pregnancy! I mean, I'm going to have a baby that is going to want to sleep...a lot! Mommy can't be sneezing her head off and waking Baby H up, or anyone else for that matter! While reading about this unheard of problem I also read that there are ways to help treat it. Of course before taking anything I'll have to call the doctor. I'll be doing that FIRST thing in the morning!
