Yes lybrate-user Should not be used regularly as it can cause fall in platelet count, which can lead to bleeding. Try steam inhalation, plain. Do it morning and night. Pregnancy does cause some nose congestion due to increased blood flow to all organs. Have warm water, spicy soups and do steam inhalation. That should help.
