    yeah, mine did that, too. It drove me insane
    the higher levels of estrogen when your're pregnant can contribute to swelling in the mucous membranes lining the nose. it sometimes can cause you to make more mucus. the amount of blood in your body increases and your blood vessels expand during pregnancy, which can lead to swollen nasal membranes.

    through out my entire pregnancy my nose was stuffy i couldnt breathe through my nose so once or twice a day i would go in the bathroom and let it steam up and that would clear my nose up for a bit also i would put something mentholy under the hot water to give off the vapors.
