Pregnancy Rhinitis & Putting up Christmas Decor + Unboxing Baby Shower Gifts...

[@honeypickle39]

Try not to burn any candles for a few days and see if that helps...sometimes the fragrance adds to the rhinitis.

[@aubrifinster3336]

It’s kills me how moms feel like they “aren’t allowed” to “complain” while being pregnant. Pregnancy can be HARD. And sometimes it isn’t fun. We should be allowed to say hey I’m really struggling with x y or z and not be judged. It’s does not mean we don’t feel blessed for this miracle. Don’t get it twisted.

[@Meganhaskinss]

Yes!!!!!! I've been blessed with an easy pregnancy thus far. But I like to hear what other people's symptoms are. And who knows it could help somebody going through the same thing!

[@aubrifinster3336]

Meggan Haskins yes girl! I’m so glad your pregnancy is going smooth! That’s how my first one was and I was so thankful. But this time around, I’ve been miserably sick. I totally understand her desperation to want to feel better.

[@Meganhaskinss]

@@aubrifinster3336 I know, i really do feel for people who have bad pregnancies 😪 it's such a fun and beautiful experience, I couldnt imagine being sick the whole time. I would literally hate my life

@@aubrifinster3336 hope you get some relief soon😍

[@samanthag1225]

I agree with you however when you dont listen to your doctor's orders and still say you don't know what to do, that's where people have a problem with it.

Meg- I love when your vlogs are “boring”. It makes you so much more relatable to the majority of your audience. It feels more like hanging w a friend rather than watching someone’s over the top life every day. Feel better 🙂

I know im sooo late..but im pregnant now and this rhinitis is killing me!!! This is my second pregnancy and i had it with my first too..idk!!...i think i rather throw up😣

[@tarabera18]

GIRL!!!! you dont have to actually be in the shower just close ur bathroom door put a towel at the bottom of the door and turn on ur shower HOT!! so u create a steam room. This is also a tip for when baby it stuffed up and they're too young for medication!! 💙💙

[@dianaseverns7228]

Your dishwasher sterilizes your bottles if you have one.

[@laurenashleysexton]

Diana Severns I never trusted my dishwasher to clean bottles. I did all of them by hand and just sterilized them in my Dr. Browns sterilizer.

[@dianaseverns7228]

Ashleyyy dishwashers are at an extremely high heat . I used to boil my bottles. On the stove. But then dishwashers did the same thing. If a dishwasher doesn’t do a good job than everyone must get germs from eating in restaurants..... everyone uses the same silverware, so do u think the dishwasher doesn’t work in restaurants?

[@laurenashleysexton]

Diana Severns when you have hard water like where I live, dish washers leave residue. Not a matter of not getting it clean enough, but hand washing is just superior when doing bottles if you have hard water. I never had any stains doing it that way.

[@lindseymarshall7603]

I'm having a baby in January also, and wanted a dishwasher so I could sanitize bottles, the dishwasher has to have the setting to sterilize

[@lindseymarshall7603]

Which I had no clue! But glad i found that out before purchasing

[@TheSummerGirl7]

I know the pregnancy rhinitis is hard to handle but believe me, the sooner you get off of the nasal spray the quicker it will go away. Right now you’re prolonging it. You need to tough through it girly.

[@Prayeveryday99.]

OMG so true! My mom told me not to use the nasal sprays because it will KEEP your nose stuffed and every time you need to clear your nose you will need the spray because your nose is depending on it! Even if the bottle says “non addictive” or whatever. But that’s not anyone’s fault our body just gets use to it naturally and it’s not good :/

[@TheSummerGirl7]

Rainclouds yes exactly, it’s called rebound congestion. But the bad thing is the effects of it are actually way worse than your initial congestion symptoms. Rebound congestion sis awful.

[@SamanthaBrooke]

So true. This was literally such a basic thing we learned in nursing school.

[@TheSummerGirl7]

Samantha Brooke I’ve been in megs shoes. I knew the consequences of continued use but I did it because I was desperate for relief. I couldn’t function at my job, day to day activities I was really depressed without the spray. One day I was just like screw it, I can’t be dependent on it, so I stopped.

[@ReneeinMN1]

Exactly! Rebound congestion from using the nasal sprays. You aren’t supposed to use them for more than four days or they will make it worse than Doctor told me that a few years ago.

[@carmenvlogger]

A lot of ppl don’t think about this but my main thing I would take to the hospital and made sure I had a few pair of Is Baby Mittens especially for newborns... babies nails are really sharp and they’re always rubbing their faces and these mittens help them not to scratch their face😀 can’t wait to meet your baby boy... my daughter is pregnant and she’s exactly the same months as you and her due date is January 20, 2020😀

[@ashleybrockman4183]

Carmen Torres yes!!! My daughters nails were sooo long she kept scratching her face and we didn’t have clippers or mittens

[@Schlurpies]

Seriously, they come out with talons!

[@FreeFallin123456]

Or the sleepers with the mitts already on them so you don’t have to keep putting them on! My daughter always knocked hers off since she was so tiny, hard to find a good newborn size. :)

[@laurenashleysexton]

My girl wouldn’t keep hers on lol. It was almost pointless. It’s one item we never really used.

[@kwillis5232]

Grayson melts my heart! & my German Shepherd gets really excited when she hears his toy squeak. Then she goes & grabs her squeaky toy lol

[@Tuffbella]

Random essential....but do you have a fire extinguisher? Also have you taken a cpr class ?

[@itsnotme5370]

Jennifer Smith usually cpr classes are given at the hospital. I was given one before we went home with my baby.

[@xTogepi]

I think these are awesome “essentials”! I’ve had 2 babies & I was never taught cpr at the hospital. & buying a fire extinguisher is something I think a lot of people don’t think about!

[@JujuluvsjuicyCouture]

Best part in this whole video was seeing and hearing grey play with his toy

[@lyricaikman7210]

Nurse here. Nasal decongestant longer than 3 days causes rebound congestion. That’s why they tell you not to... for a reason. It only makes it worse. Meds and antibiotics for just congestion is not a Road you want to go on.

[@kristinguthrie3316]

This is just me trying to give advice and NOT get onto to you about your life, but if your OB is saying for you to stop the nose spray, is that really something to not listen to? I know you say you can't do it. But it's mind over matter. You're stronger than that!! I do know how you feel. I guess I'm just scared something could come from you continuing to use it. My advice. Throw it away!! See if your nose gets better without it. I mean this all with love.

[@user-yl4cc5ed1t]

Kristin Guthrie exactly what I’m thinking. Her body is gonna start depending on it for relief (if it hasn’t already), and she’s gonna build up a tolerance and it’ll stop working. My husband has severe asthma and doesn’t even use his inhaler unless he’s in desperate need because he knows he’s gonna start building up a tolerance to it.

[@kkandbaby1217]

My sister literally got addicted to her nose spray. She would only use it because if she didn’t she would stay clogged even though she was done being sick. Eventually she quit but that stuff is not good for you.

[@madylove72]

I would definitely get a pack n play instead of a bassinet!

[@robertapatterson4776]

Why are u yelling

[@xoDee11]

Roberta patterson yelling though? Really? Lmao

[@kathaleenvandusen6803]

So glad you mentioned pregnancy rhinitis. This is me throughout my first pregnancy. It wakes me up in the middle of the night and nothing works. Cheers for saying you don’t want advice and boo to all those that are still giving advice. Nothing works. Hot steamy shower, decongestants seem to be temporary and then the rebound is just as bad, nothing works. They say 30% of pregnant women get this but it’s so hard for me to believe because it’s rare to hear about. Thanks for shedding light on this!

[@RichelleBeauty]

The antibiotics will only help if you have a sinus infection. If the membranes in your nose are just swollen the antibiotics won’t do anything

Yes I know! I just wanted to make sure I didn't have another infection!

[@baileeclemmer49]

[@ImAmandaaa]

Try cutting back on dairy a little. I think it will help with the congestion.

[@stacyrogel]

I had pregnancy rhinitis my whole pregnancy. I started to think it would never clear up. It did though.. the very next day after I had my baby! Hang in there!

[@tropicalprincess1091]

🙂 Meg,when my son was born, i made sure I got the newspaper for that day, so he can look at what happened the day and year he was born when he gets alot older..Up to you when you store it away just put in black garbage bag and keep in dark place, so it does not fade in time.

[@annieroydube]

joti reddy I LOVEEE the newspaper idea. I’m definitely doing that when I have children & you actually got me pretty curious on looking up the newspaper on the day I was born🤔

[@leighmegan13]

My mum did this for me in 1996 and she gave me it on my 21st birthday. I had no idea she did it but I’m so glad she did 🥰.

[@mizzrosa313]

Aww cute idea

[@MistyShadows22]

Here’s a tip I always make sure and give to expecting mother’s.. Make sure to turn all baby socks and mittens inside out and cut off any loose strings. They can get wrapped around baby’s toes or fingers

[@TACOinFLORIDA002]

Just an FYI on the baby nail clippers.....I accidentally cut the tip of my baby's finger trying to trim his nails. I even had the ones that light up so I could see. My pediatrician said it's very common and a lot of parents do it because the nail is actually fused to the skin when they're little. I HIGHLY recommend filing them instead for the first few months. I cried for hours after I cut him. Spare yourself! Lol

[@Rebecca-sk1kz]

Don’t feel bad!!! You’re vlogging everyday we don’t expect you to do something extravagant everyday. Love how relatable you are💕

[@CW-jq9dj]

I’d recommend wool dryer balls instead of dryer sheets. You can put essential oils in them to make them smell amazing and dose an amazing job🙌🏻

[@Vleal143]

Yes and double yes!♡♡♡

[@Vleal143]

And a switch from dreft! (Its actually filled with awful toxins 😔)

[@alexak9172]

Yes! They say dryer sheets are the number one cancer causing item in your home 😱

[@brookebrokiewicz9118]

How many dryer balls do you need to use per load??

[@tairakristine4191]

My dad has some and I absolutely love them!!!

[@xoxborderlinebunny7]

Can’t you get a mobile holder that attaches to the crib? Then you wouldn’t have to use a string.

[@Lesh004]

I can’t wait to see if your issues go away immediately after having the baby. I had major heartburn all throughout my pregnancy. And as soon as I gave birth it went away. It was amazing. lol The portable bassinet/co sleeper is amazing! That was a life saver for us the first 2 months. We placed our son in between or pillows in bed. It made life so easy and co sleeping safe. The blankets never came up over him and neither did the pillows. We even had our boxer in bed. He always checked on our son before he fell asleep. Or would keep his face next to it while he slept. lol

[@kingbean112]

Alicia Cook I had heartburn also and hyper emesis my entire pregnancy and the few minutes after I had my son, it was all completely gone, it was the coolest thing ever lol ☺️

[@taylorking3786]

Just a mommy money saving tip: all free and clear is the exact same thing, ans so much cheaper.

[@samantham5107]

Taylor King yup I never did use dreft

[@aprilburton6905]

Girl yes! That’s all I use on my 13 month old baby girl. I’ve used it since day one. I’m going to use it for the rest of my life. LoL! All is one of my favorites.

[@LetTheArtTalk]

Does All free and clear still have the baby smell like dreft?

[@sodope805]

Amy Wajda No, but the scent in baby Dreft can irritate the skin. My son has eczema and we had to stop using it.

[@melissacochran437]

Amy Wajda All Free Clear is free is scent free and color free. Dreft is full of perfume.

[@margieginel7418]

I had rhinitis for 9 months with my second child many, many years ago! I will tell you there is nothing you can do - it’s sort of a reaction to the pregnancy. Stop using all that stuff. Advice - it will go away when you give birth. Hang in there!!! BTW I’m. 74 years old.

[@laraibashraf1638]

Have you used any anti allergy or Nasal spray during pregnancy?

Hey Meg! I’m a nursing student and work in the pharmacy! I know you didn’t want advice and I totally understand but have you tried pseudoephedrine? I believe 1 tablet of the 4-6 hour is safe for pregnancy. Definitely check with your doctor! I hope you feel better! ♥️

[@klani1211]

[@blueapril0545]

Please stop yelling at Greyson for playing with toys that you gave him to play with.

[@haleybugdevine]

Blueapril05 it’s not that serious. Sometimes dogs are obnoxious and need to be told to calm down. That’s what happens.

[@blueapril0545]

haley devine there’s other ways to go about it, such as redirecting them. Constantly yelling at them for being a dog does nothing except make them view their owner as unstable.

[@loriharvey9122]

Yes I hope they end up giving him to her dad. These idiots are stupid. Poor kid on the way. They don’t even have patience with a dog toy imagine a screaming newborn at 3 am 🙄

[@lindseycamden3061]

You saying you’re really struggling pulled at my heart strings. I so understand...I had an awful pregnancy. People don’t understand it until they’ve been there. Not being able to breathe for 9 months would make anyone feel desperate. It’ll all be worth it when you see that sweet boy. Prayers for you in the meantime.

[@aydriannacole2625]

I would consider getting some fragrance free laundry detergent just in case little guy has a bad reaction to the Dreft.

Girlfriend, when your nose is clogged up you, are non-functioning pregnant or not that's a miserable feeling. I hate that for you. It's ok sweetheart. You look beautiful. FYI: your boring vlogs are just fine. Not boring at all. I'm so freaking excited about your labor delivery vlog, I can't wait. Love ya girl 😘❤

[@ayooellaaboo]

You are allowed to complain Meg!! Dont feel sorry at all. We moms/pregnant women go through a lot. One thing i would recommend for postpartum is a postpartum belly girdle!! They usually give it to women who have a c-section, but i just asked the nurse for one & they gave me one. It helped me lose my post pregnancy tummy faster & it also helped me get back to my pre-pregnancy shape without even going to the gym or working out! I wore it everyday for about 3 months . I totally recommend it 👌 but anyways, i hope u start feeling better soon ❤️ xoxo

[@savannahalexander92]

Dont use dryer sheets they are soo toxic. Get wool dryer balls and put essential oils on them :)

[@hollydolly088]

Savannah Chisholm 100%

[@themakeupvanity22]

You do not need to apologize for your feelings. Rhinitis sucks! People on the outside may just see it as congestion, but it’s exhausting to deal with! I experienced this for both of my pregnancies. I was super congested and couldn’t leave the house without a box of Kleenex. Even though rhinitis gets worse towards the end, once the baby is born, you will feel AMAZING! Hang in there mama!

[@mak3upgeek]

I believe that the nasal spray is what makes it stay and not go away because you became very dependent on it. Try your best to not resolve to it all the time.

[@cassierobles10]

I have an arms reach bassinet for my daughter now. She just turned 2 months old and has been using it ever since she was born. There are things I like and dislike about this bassinet. I really like how easy it is to travel so if you go places overnight it’s really easy you don’t need to take a pack and play it just folds right up. Also if you go to someone house for the day and you know your baby will be napping or want to sleep it’s awesome because you can just pack it up and bring it and the baby will be used to sleeping in it already. I loved the storage like you said because it has a ton. The fact that the side comes down on one side is also a big plus. The wheels however are horrible. It might as well not have any at all because they don’t work very good. Another thing to look out for with it is it doesn’t have any vibration settings or anything like that but you could always get those attachment ones. Just thought I would let you know some of the pros and cons of it before you purchase it because they are expensive. On a side note I got the boppy lounger and was going to return it but then ended up keeping it and I’m so glad i did. It is amazing ! And my daughter wanted to be in it all the time. It obviously would never take the place of a bassinet or anything but she just likes to sit in it throughout the day and it’s really inexpensive.

[@rebecca4376]

My daughter attaches the GoPro to the car seat so she can see my Granddaughter on her phone when driving so she doesn’t have to keep looking back, but it only works when it’s light out.

The Halo Bassinest Glide was the best! It slides so easily, pulls over the bed, and the side folds down for easy access. I kept it next to the bed and would slide it close to me when she woke up. I kept diapers, wipes, and bottles next to the bed. When she woke up in the night I never had to get out of bed. I'd pull her close, get her out, feed her, change her then put her back. Not getting out of bed allowed me to fall back asleep more easily. She stayed in it for almost 6 months.

[@italianchickalicious]

Since your having a winter baby aveno eczema creme is amazing for dry skin. Also if you drink while breastfeeding pump and save that milk for milk baths for diaper rashes. Cornstarch is good for diaper rashes as well. A bumbo seat, I liked having aveno eczema bath treatments as well. And order baby dryer sheets from amazon.

[@italianchickalicious]

I had an October baby and the cremes were amazing. Not like lotions, the tubs of creme that are like the burts bees you put on your belly. And for PP look up the after baby pad popsicles.

I’ve been reading a little about the rhinitis. I know you said you’ve tried everything and I’m sure you’ve probably tried these too but I thought I would mention them just in case. Sleep with you head elevated. And avoid dairy. Let me know if you’ve tried it or if you do and how it works. Good luck.

The Best bassinet Is the Arms Reach you can travel all Over with baby and baby is literally right next to you when you sleep! Perfect for a 1st time momma!

[@marysolberg4683]

Humidifier in bedroom and the other rooms you are in the most.

[@carerissmakeup]

We bought the bassinet and was gifted the crib. My son is 4 months old and has never used either. When you are breastfeeding, it is so much easier to have baby sleep in bed with you rather than getting up. You’ll do anything for sleep when u have a new baby, trust me

Your nose is GIANT now you’re knocked up 😂

[@brookebelson177]

Hey Meg! My sister had the same exact thing happen to her. She had a sinus infection and shortly after taking antibiotic kept re-lapsing. She went to an ear, nose, & throat doctor and learned she had a blockage in one of her sinus's which involved a separate route of care. Possibly check that out!

[@soniaochoa7253]

Everybody’s pregnancy is different I was puking every single day till I gave birth so I feel your pain!

[@taravisosky9228]

I know you aren’t looking for advice but...lol try the chiropractor. I know that sounds crazy but adjusting your neck may help with the drainage. Hope that helps.

[@paigehogan1024]

Massage helps with drainage as well! My friend massages my sinuses and it helped so much!

[@twingirl51]

Meg where did you get your comfy jacket from that you wore in your haul?! I've seen similar ones but none that zip up they are hoodies. 😊

[@coastalbreeze2354]

I saw some at TJMaxx today.

[@Meganhaskinss]

MARSHALLS ! The brand is thread & supply. Best jacket EVER. I love mine

[@ericaleemynatt]

Meggan Haskins Have you washed it yet? Wondering how they feel after being washed

[@Meganhaskinss]

@@ericaleemynatt I havent, but I have another vest from thread and supply and washed it, I say wash it by itself, forsure. It still feels ok!

[@Meganhaskinss]

@@ericaleemynatt I dont think it would need washed very often though! It's worth the money! Its 10x warmer than my northface coats!

[@pinkmegan]

New Mom to a 7 week old here Postpartum you need tucks pads, predone ice packs, earth mama perineal spray, and after ease. It will make healing easier and keep you comfortable I also HIGHLY recommend a haakaa for collecting milk while you pump of breastfeed. I get an extra 2 plus onces with it.

[@candi0826]

Vitamin d drops for baby good to have and baby Tylenol and a thermometer.

[@Christine-lo1jw]

Someone else said this but you don’t have to actually shower! Just turn the shower on super hot and shut the door.

[@tlk9848]

Meg your pregnant if you don't feel good it's ok not to vlog every day in December don't stress girl

[@kelsiodom9242]

I love watching you! You’re so real and honest! Hang in there mama! In the end it’ll be so worth it! Don’t feel like you can’t rant and can’t complain...you’re growing a human and your body is changing. Go ahead and rant, complain, or anything else that you feel! Love you!

[@beccamendoza2075]

Humidifier! I never thought of having one. It was the last thing on my mind. I was due in 4 weeks after my baby shower & I was worried about other things. Don’t apologize for your appearance! You still look great!

[@valeriecurts2930]

Postpartum tips: DERMAPLAST! My hospital issued this and I bought an extra can for my bathroom. Make some freezer meals now and stock your pantry with snacks you can grab and eat. Also bigger soft panties so they aren’t tight and in case you have to have a c section you want them to go up high on your waist.

[@ashlauren02]

Nose Frieda is the best thing ever!!!’ Highly recommend it.

[@rachelerickson93]

I loved the halo because you can lay the baby in it however you want and then swivel it to make sure you can see them while you’re in bed! And I used a bassinet for my baby for 4 months before we transitioned him to his crib! But some can go even 6 months! I thought it was worth it because we will be using for our next babies to come hopefully!

[@Nesskake1111]

Aw meg! Pray you get some relief soon. I know exactly how you feel. I too had rhinitis when I was pregnant, It was a nightmare! I literally had stop buying tissues and carried a micro fiber towel everywhere I went. That was the only thing that didn’t irritate my nose. Luckily, after I had my little one it went away! hang in there! 😘

[@BiancaJeann]

Baby towels that have hoods on them for after baths, diaper cream, baby bottle brush (for cleaning them), baby thermometer, vicks, petroleum jelly and gauze, bulb syringe, medicine dropper, cotton balls, some infant Tylenol (acetaminophen) but only AFTER 12 weeks. When baby is sick it will help to turn on hot shower, plug the bottom of doors and sit with them in steam (not in the shower but outside of it). Also make sure you have A LOT of pacifiers on hand lol

[@marybrewer3824]

Anthony- "i can tell u one thing i do hate!" 😂😂

[@stephaniebunting7086]

Meghan... I will be 7 months pregnant and I’m just starting to get the same congestion and I’m MISERABLE. So you are not the only one mama who is feeling down and moody about it so i appreciate you being real and ofcourse we all feel bad but i can totally relate. The only thing that is keeping me going is that in a few months this will all be over and the beautiful baby will be here and you are oh so so close! Keep your head up!! You are not alone! 💙💙💙💙 much love!

[@jennessicasanchez4919]

I used to use the Johnson & Johnson vapor bath when I was sick while pregnant and a humidifier when I slept it helped me so much.

[@coleybeauty8994]

I love the bassinet that I got with my second baby. It’s by grace. It wasn’t expensive probably like $120. It has a big compartment underneath where I put a cooler with ice packs for if I pumped in the middle of the night and was too tired to walk downstairs. Diapers. Wipes. Extra changes of jammies. Etc. the whole bassinet also flipped over with this locking mechanism to turn into a changing table. So even when we we’re done with the bassinet part we kept that up in the bedroom just to make it easy if I wanted to change him in our room after feeding before putting him back in his room. Anywho. I’ll be using it in April again with my 3rd. It was awesome

[@coleybeauty8994]

*Graco!

[@kelsey0957]

Sorry you’re feeling so bad Meg! I’m sure it sucks but at least you’ll get the best gift once it goes away!

[@93joleal]

During my pregnancy I also had pregnancy rhinitis and so did my sister, I used a nasal decongestant because none of the natural remedies worked for me. I used it for so long I also felt like it wasn’t getting better because I’ve used it to much but after I had my daughter within in days I was able to breath again!!! No more congestion. My daughter will be 1 in a few weeks. Soo from my experience you will be fine after you have your baby, no more congestion

[@enchantingerica]

Love the jammies you’re wearing! 🎄

[@Sparklesandsuch123]

Girl I feel your pain! I suffer from TERRIBLE sinus issues year round. It was seriously horrible during my pregnancies and I was using Afrin (nasal spray) pretty much the whole time. You don’t have to quit it cold turkey but to get off of it you use it in just one nostril (at night only)so that you can breathe out of one side to sleep and don’t use it in the other side at all. It will be miserable during the day for the first few days but you have to power through. After around 3-4 days the swelling from the rebound congestion will go down on the side you haven’t used it and then you can stop the spray altogether! Hope you find some relief soon!💕
