I've caught a bad cold and have been coughing a lot lately. I'm really worried if this frequent coughing can hurt my baby during pregnancy. Has anyone experienced this?
Nahi re, cough se baby ko kuch nahi hota, she is very safe inside. Garm paani piyo and thoda ginger-honey lick kar lo, relief milega. Par haan, agar zyada fever ho toh doctor ko zaroor batana, okay?
I completely feel your anxiety, every little sneeze and cough used to make me hold my belly in fear. Your baby is wrapped in a beautiful cushion of fluid and won't feel a thing. Take plenty of rest and sip on warm soups to feel better.
Beta, don't worry, the baby is kept very safe inside your tummy by God. When I had a bad cough, my mother gave me warm water with tulsi. It really helped to soothe my throat naturally without taking any heavy medicines.
I used to have terrible coughing fits during my pregnancy and always worried my baby would pop out or get hurt! But honestly, they are very safe and cushioned inside the amniotic sac. My toddler is perfectly fine now, so don't worry.
Currently in my 3rd trimester and coughing makes me feel like I might pee myself, but the baby is totally cozy inside! The constant kicking actually tells me he doesn't mind the cough at all. Just try some warm water with honey to soothe your throat.
Absolutely not, the baby is well-protected by the uterus and amniotic fluid. However, constant coughing can strain your abdominal muscles and exhaust you. Get a warm steam inhalation and see your gynac if you need a safe cough syrup.
