Iv been having bad cold and cough since 3 days and now feeling nauseous too. Im in first trimester so cant tell if its the cold or just pregnancy. Anyone else faced this combo?
Oh god, yes, coughing hard makes you feel like throwing up, I used to panic thinking the pressure would hurt the baby! It's very normal but so tiring. Try to rest your head on high pillows while sleeping so mucus doesn't collect.
It's highly possible, but during pregnancy, you should never self-medicate even for a cold. Please check with your gynac once. They will give you safe syrups or tablets to soothe the throat so nausea also stops.
Oh yes, it definitely can! I had a bad cough in my first trimester and the constant hacking would trigger my morning sickness every single time. It is so tough to deal with both, please take rest dear.
Yes, mucus throat me jata hai toh nausea badh jata hai. Try drinking warm water with honey and ginger, it's a safe home remedy. But if you have high fever or breathlessness, call your gynac immediately.
Yes, post-nasal drip from a cold can irritate your stomach and trigger nausea. Also, forceful coughing puts pressure on your abdomen which can lead to vomiting. Keep sipping warm water and talk to your doc before taking any OTC cold meds.
I was just wondering about this because my sister is pregnant and has a bad cold. Can the constant coughing actually trigger gag reflexes and make nausea worse? It sounds so exhausting.
