Mouth taping whilst pregnant?

Has anyone mouth taped whilst pregnant? I’m naturally a mouth breather and feel like my nostrils are too small to get sufficient air into my lungs🙃 (like I have to take pretty deep breaths to get adequate amount of air and even then if I turn to one side only one of my nostrils can take air in. Thoughts?😅

I've never heard of it but it sounds ridiculous & dangerous.

Absolutely no, not do this! Mucus buildup and nasal blockage during pregnancy are often due to pregnancy rhinitis, caused by hormonal changes (increased estrogen and progesterone) and higher blood flow, which swell nasal tissues and boost mucus production which can also causing more pregnant women to mouth breathe. Tips for Relief: 1. Stay Hydrated: Drink water to thin mucus. 2. Use a Humidifier: Moist air soothes nasal passages. 3. Saline Spray: Flush mucus safely. 4. Steam Inhalation: Inhale steam to open passages. 5. Elevate Head: Sleep with an extra pillow to reduce congestion. 6. Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of strong smells and allergens. When to See a Doctor: If symptoms are severe, persist, or include fever (may signal infection). Discuss safe medications with your doctor.

Thanks girls! Will save the mouth taping until after I give birth😅
