A member asked:
Hi, i have severely blocked nose and i read that holding breath for about 30 seconds could clear some airways, i tried for 43 secs and it helped. but i am worried because i am 16 weeks pregnant, might this have any kind of adverse effect on the baby?

Unlikely: It is very unlikely that your baby would be hurt by this. It is also very unlikely that holding you’re breath will help you in slant way.
