Question about symptoms....

1) What is the link between your sinuses and pregnancy? I've had some really bad allergy symptoms even when taking my Allegra.

2) What is the norm for spotting?

my last pregnancy my sinus were always plugged. i had some implantation spotting early in my pregnancy. my ob told me that as long as it wasnt excessive bleeding and you had no severe pain then it should be ok. if you do have some bleeding and you are unsure then call your doctor and have them check you out or go to the ER.

1. I don't know what the link is, but there definitely is one. Apparently it's very common for pregnant women to be a lot more congested than usual...I was too.
2. There isn;t really a norm; some people do and some don't. With my first I just had some implantation bleeding and with my second I spotted significantly almost the entire time. I had a couple of extra ultrasounds done to make sure there wasn't anything wrong and there wasn't. Like the other person said, if it's more than light spotting, if you have any pains or if you're worried talk to your doctor.

Your sinuses can be clogged because there is extra discharge from all membranes, including your nose. I didn't get stuffy til late in my pregnancy but now it's uncomfortable.

I can't help you with the spotting I never had any.

ya it bothered me at first that the baby would be so close to Christmas. At this point, I just want him out :D. I'm even thinking that it might be kinda neat to have him born on Christmas.
