Pregnancy can cause some of the oddest things. When I was pregnant with my first child I had tail bone pain so severe that sitting was totally an agonizing experience for almost the entire pregnancy. After he was born it went away. With my daughter suddenly I couldn't breath out of my nose, my entire upper teeth hurt like I had every tooth infected. I thought I must have the worse sinus infection ever. I even went so far as to refuse to nurse because I thought I had to go to the doctor for help with being able to breathe. Not long after she was born my problem went away without medication. Found out later that pregnancy can cause inflammation in your mucus membranes.  It wasn't my sinuses or my teeth.  I was totally miserable my whole pregnancy and hopefully your close to having your child otherwise I have been were you are.  As long as your teeth look good, no puffy gums it probably is the same thing. I used Afrin which my doctor told me I could use. Helped me breathe but I got horribly addicted to this and had to use saline for weeks after to get over that.

I seriously am not trying to frighten you but wanted to share my experience in case this is what is happening to you.
