Tess's Experience of Beating Rhinitis
Chances are, if you are on this page you are experiencing rhinitis, which onsets during pregnancy making you feel like you have a permanent cold.
And chances are you haven’t found a solution yet.
Your tired of having to breath through your mouth when you sleep, your tired of being woken up by your congested airways and your tired of just being tired.
If this sounds like you, then I’d like you to meet someone.
This is Tess.
Tess had been trying for her first baby for two years.
At 35, each month came with its own emotional rollercoaster—until one morning, finally, she saw those two lines on the pregnancy test.
Then she took three more, just to be sure.
She described that moment as a mix of disbelief, joy, and fear—all tangled together in a way she’d never felt before.
She paced around the bathroom, heart racing, not sure whether to cry or laugh.
She called her best friend immediately, and waited eagerly for her husband to come home so she could tell him the news in person.
As for her parents? Over the moon. They’d been dropping hints about grandkids for years!
But a few months into the pregnancy, the symptoms started rolling in—and one of the worst was rhinitis.
Something that affects around 1 in 5 pregnant women—and it can be brutal.
And in Tess’s own words, it went a little something like this:
“So, imagine being 3 months pregnant, waddling around with swollen ankles and a back that’s already screaming for mercy—and then bam, rhinitis hits.
Not the cute little sniffles.
This is that full-blown, relentless kind that makes you feel like your entire head is stuffed with cotton balls and wet cement.
It started with this annoying little tickle in my nose. And within hours, I couldn’t breathe through one nostril, then the other joined in like it was a team sport.
I sound like I’ve been crying for hours when I talk, which is just fabulous when you’re trying to explain to your mother-in-law for the third time why you don’t want any more hand-me-down baby socks.
I keep tissues in every room, in every pocket, even under my pillow at night because the moment I lie down, my nose decides it wants to leak like a broken tap.
I’m blowing my nose so often, it’s gone raw—like I’ve been scrubbing it with sandpaper.
And breathing—breathing has become this luxury I vaguely remember from my first trimester.
I wake up at 3 a.m., then 4 a.m., then again at 5 a.m., it’s like the only time I feel like I can get any sleep is when I’m meant to be waking up!?
I’m exhausted. And I couldn’t just pop antihistamines because, hi, baby on board.
So, I was stuck doing steam inhalations with a towel over my head. Everynight for weeks.
But then—by total fluke. I was scrolling at 2 a.m.—one of those nights where I was so congested I could hear my own heartbeat in my sinuses—and I saw an ad from Peace of Sleep, showing off these weird magnetic nasal clips that claimed could ease my pain.
So, in somewhat desperation I gave it a go.
Now listen, I’m not one of those influencer-mum types who swears by every gadget.
I’m skeptical, always reading the reviews and so figured, “Worst case, it doesn’t work and I cry into another tissue.”
But oh my god, the first night I tried it—I almost cried anyway.
I clipped it on (it’s barely noticeable, by the way, no weird pressure or discomfort), lay down, and for the first time in weeks, I could actually breathe.
Like really breathe.
No more mouth wide open, no more dry throat or midnight coughing fits.
It’s such a small thing, but when you’re pregnant just being able to get a good night’s sleep feels like a luxury spa treatment
I’ve been using it every night since.
Even my husband noticed—he was like, “Babe, you didn’t sound like a walrus last night!”
So romantic.
Anyway, if you're dealing with rhinitis, pregnant or not, do yourself a favor and look into those Peace of Sleep clips.
It’s like finding a little piece of sanity in the middle of all the chaos.”
The clip simply attaches to two magnetic stickers you place on either side of your nose, widening the size of your nostrils, unblocking even the most congested of noses.
We want to remind you what a good night of sleep is like.
You should feel like you have just had an 8 hour massage when you wake up in the morning.
Relaxed, no tension in your body, healed from the day before, refreshed and ready to meet the new day with energy and optimism.
And you’re right to be sceptical to whether our magnetic nose clip works.
That’s why to remove all risk and unecessary stress from you, because we know you already have enough of that to deal with it. We offer a 15 nights free guarantee.
Where if in 15 nights of using the clip you don’t feel better, you can send it right back, free of charge.
We want you to remember these 9 months as the best, most self-developing of your life, so don’t let rhinitis stop you from being you.
Because nothing in this world has the right to do that.
