I caught a bad cold and im sneezing n coughing non stop. Every strong sneeze i feel a pull in my lower pet and i get scared something will happen to the baby. Im exactly 8 weeks. is this normal or should i worry?
Haan na, hume kitna darr lagta hai starting me! But don't worry, sneezing or coughing se baby ko kuch nahi hota. Just support your tummy with your hands when you sneeze so you don't get a sudden muscle pull.
Oh, I remember being so terrified of this during my first trimester! Every time I sneezed, I would hold my stomach thinking the baby would get hurt. Honestly, our little ones are so well protected in there, so please don't worry, you are doing great.
Having PCOS made me super paranoid about every single movement in my body, especially in the 8th week. But my gynac assured me that sneezing is completely normal and won't affect the pregnancy. Just keep yourself warm and rest well.
My mother used to give me warm haldi milk whenever I had a mild cough during those early weeks. She always said it's just normal throat irritation and won't affect the baby at all. Just relax, eat well, and let your family pamper you.
Bilkul nahi, baby is very safe inside the womb surrounded by fluid, like a cushion. For your cough, try drinking warm water with a little honey or doing ginger tea, it really helps. Just avoid taking any over-the-counter cough syrups without checking with your doctor.
