17w Nasal congestion

can anyone help me understand why my nose is extremely stuffy. Some nights i can barely breathe if i don’t open my mouth. It honestly makes me cry and then my boyfriend thinks i’m being dramatic and that’s not helping so i just wanted to see if anyone else going through and is it something i can do about it.

It's normal, the air is dry. If you can get a humidifier. Place it near you at night.

I had similar with my youngest (uk). Saline nasal spray helped. Plus making sure under the bed wasn’t too dusty. Nasal plasters helped- the anti snoring ones. Not much choice in terms of meds, according to my GP

I can, it may be pregnancy rhinitis. I had all throughout my first trimester and it would sometimes last up to a week of a couple of days depending on how bad the congestion in my nose was it’s like having a cold but not being sick at the same time it’s annoying but it does go away by drinking plenty of fluids and using a humidifier

Humidifier, nasal inhalers (I got one from Amazon that also helps with nausea) and saline spray if it’s bad.

A cool humidifier should clear you right up! Or at least help a lot!

Blame the hormones🙃 I hear they widen your blood vessels in your nose causing more mucus🙃 Hope it gets better!!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
