Changes In You
Some women suffer from nasal stuffiness during their pregnancy, or even frequentnosebleeds.
It is believed that this may be due to the hormonal changes that your body is goingthrough as your body is changing and adapting with your pregnancy, which in turncauses the blood vessels in your nasal passageways to swell and bleed more frequently.
Good ways of dealing or preventing this from happening is to use a humidifier, increasingyour fluid intake or to speak to your healthcare provider about nasal decongestants which is safe to use during pregnancy.
Your Nutrition
Many women are concerned about what they can eat during their pregnancy, suchas, Mexican food, spicy food, Greek or Thai if they eat out. It is safe to eat outduring your pregnancy, but it is best to try and stick to the same kinds of foodsas you eat at home or at least what you know you are comfortable eating. One thingyou may find during your pregnancy is that foods you used to enjoy may give youheartburn or not agree with you and so you should avoidthem.
