Im sick for with bad nasal congestion. i saw a video on the internet where it shows you how to unblock stuffy nose by holding the nose and hold your breath as long as you can. so i did it around 4 times, 20 second each. can that hurt my baby?

No: By the format of your question, it appears that you are pregnant. This should not present any problem. You might consider placing warm compresses over your sinuses of your face. If the treatment that you used to unblock your stuffy nose, I would stay with it.
