Congestion is common in the first and third trimesters. Its your bodies way of keeping out harmful bacteria and viruses the best it can. Only natural remedies I know are the rinses that have already been mentioned. Mt doctor put me on zyrtec and zyrtec d due to my severe allergies that have added to that congestion. Both of which are category b. Good luck

Hi, I am a registered nurse and also had a stuffy nose with both my pregnancies. This is a completely common thing to have during pregnancy. You can use a sinus rinse that you can buy at your local pharmacy. Also claritin D 12 hour is a pregnancy B category and there are other decongestions that are pregnancy B categorized. If you want a complete natural way then use the sinus rinse nelimed kit, humidifier, and blow your nose, steamy showers to help loosen it up.
good luck :)
Category B
Either animal-reproduction studies have not demonstrated a fetal risk but there are no controlled studies in pregnant women, or animal-reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect (other than a decrease in fertility) that was not confirmed in controlled studies in women in the first trimester (and there is no evidence of a risk in later trimesters).

While I was pregnant with my youngest son, I had a stuffy nose for a month and a half. I used Saline drops & Vix. But this was later on in my pregnacy. You should ask your Dr what to take since you're still in your first trimester. Good Luck & God Bless =)
