Haan, baby to bilkul safe hota hai uterus me, warm water me pack. Par continuous cough se belly pe pressure padta hai na, so thoda dhyan rakho. Garam paani piyo and check with doc if it is not stopping.
Actually coughing itself won't hurt the baby because they are safe inside the amniotic sac, but severe strain isn't good. Honestly, it is always better to just call your gynac and ask. Don't take any over-the-counter cough syrups without asking them first.
I understand how every little thing can make us worry so much. Your baby is completely safe and cushioned inside you, so please don't be scared when you cough. Just hold your tummy gently for support when you cough, and keep sipping warm water.
Mere ghar pe mummy always used to give me warm water with a spoon of honey when I had a mild cough. It is very safe and soothens the throat naturally. But if you have a fever or cold along with it, please consult your doctor immediately.
I used to panic at every small sneeze and cough too, especially after my PCOS struggles to conceive. The baby is very secure, but if your ribs are hurting or if u feel too much pressure, please check with your doctor. It's always best to be a bit careful and get reassurance.
I felt so guilty every time I coughed during my second trimester, thinking my baby is getting shaken up. But when I asked my doctor, she laughed and said baby is totally cozy inside. Just rest well and take care of your health, mama.
