stuffy nose a pg symptom?

[nutmegtortie]

I have this happening,for the last few days. I wake up at night and my throat is on fire from my nose being blocked. I am sitting here sucking on a cough drop. I am not sick though,I do have hayfever allergies,but really the only symptom I am having is the odd itchy feeling in my eyes. I will sneeze on occasion,but nothing that has warranted any meds yet. Would be interesting to know if this is in fact a sign?

Yes, increased progesterone dilates the blood vessels and it causes the ones in your nose to produce more phlegm. I suffered really bad through my whole pregnancy.
