Can I use Nasoclear during pregnancy? I've got a blocked nose that's really making it hard to sleep. Is it safe, or should I try something else?

  1. Safety of Nasoclear During Pregnancy
    Nasoclear, a saline nasal spray, is generally safe for use during pregnancy. It contains no medications that could harm the baby and helps clear nasal passages.

  2. Alternative Safe Options
    a. Use a humidifier to keep air moist.
    b. Apply saline nasal drops or rinses.
    c. Elevate the head during sleep to reduce swelling.

  3. Avoid
    Decongestant nasal sprays or oral decongestants unless prescribed by a healthcare provider.

  4. Consultation
    If symptoms persist or worsen, or if accompanied by fever or sinus pain, consult an obstetrician to rule out infections.

I'm really worried because on February 10th, my boyfriend and I had non-penetrative sexual activity where he rubbed his penis on my vagina, and there was some pre-cum and possibly a bit of ejaculation. I read online that you can potentially get pregnant in this way. My last period was on January 23rd, and I'm feeling anxious and stressed that these activities might have made me pregnant. I've also been experiencing some early pregnancy symptoms like burping, gas, constipation, pain in my nipple area, and acne. Could this mean I'm pregnant? Is it really possible to get pregnant from what we did?

I'm about 18 weeks pregnant right now and a bit worried. I had a D&C procedure just a couple of months before conceiving again and experienced a minor uterine prolapse after that. I already have a 3-year-old daughter who was a normal delivery. This time, they put me on Susten injections because of low progesterone for the first three months, and now I'm on weekly Prolin injections. A few days back, I noticed a drop of blood after urinating, and my doctor immediately started me on Duvadilan retard 40mg and the antibiotic Forcef. My CRP level is quite high at 10, but there doesn't seem to be any urine infection. I'm really anxiousare these medicines safe to take during pregnancy?
