Nadz, dont use any medication unless your doc prescribed it to you. You never know how it works for your fetus.. Always ask the doc or pharmacist! .. Always read the note along with the medication

Re: nasal sprays and preg

nadz I actually bought this coz my nose was not only blocked but was also bleeding.. big mistake...the only thing we are allowed to use is saline spray... what u are facing is a typical pregnancy symptom....it will come and go during the trimesters...

Sorry no idea about it.

Re: nasal sprays and preg

nadz123, you can try using nasal strips. I've been having a blocked nose since day 1 of my pregnancy, and the doctor recommended nasal strips, which have worked for me.
