Caught a really bad cold and cough since 3 days, 14 weeks pregnant. My saas keeps saying its nothing but mera mann nahi maan raha. Does this common cold reach the baby or affect it in any way? pls share ur experience.
A cold is usually harmless, so don't run for expensive tests or visits unless you have a high fever. Just do home steaming first to save unnecessary hospital OPD fees.
Actually, the baby is safe in the womb, but if you run a high fever with the cold, that needs attention. Don't take any OTC cold medicines without asking your gynac.
I had a cold in my second trimester and immediately called my hospital help desk. My doctor's team gave me a safe list of cough drops, so just call your clinic and ask.
According to most pregnancy trackers, a normal cold doesn't affect the baby as the placenta protects them. Just stay hydrated and monitor your symptoms.
I know how scary it is to sneeze and worry if the baby is getting affected! I went through this too, but trust me, your little one is totally safe and snug inside.
