Pregnancy rhinitis

Adriana • † | Wife | Mama

I live in Queensland, Australia and called my hospital this morning who sent me to a GP for pregnancy rhinitis. I’ve had this for about two weeks but I am literally on the brink of a mental breakdown. I cannot breathe and because of this I’m finding it really hard to sleep. Sometimes it gets so intense I choke.

I’ve read quite a bit on it disappearing after birth, but I have no intention of being induced etc and can birth anywhere between now and 42 weeks (I’m almost 38 weeks).

The doctor today was unable to give me anything but a saline spray, which I’ve already been trying to use.

SURELY there is something to help?????

I’ve tried saline spray, warm compress, bath, steamy shower, I have a humidifier on with eucalyptus oil - even a nasal massage I found on YouTube. I’ve literally tried everything.

Ya girl is desperate out here. Any suggestions?
