Does cough during pregnancy affect the baby?

Question

Ive had this dry cough for almost a week now, 28 weeks pregnant. When i cough hard i can feel it in my pet and i get a little scared. Does coughing like this affect the baby in any way? Will check with my gynac too.

Revathi Krishnakumar · Answer

The hospital staff advised me never to self-medicate for cough. Just call your gynac's assistant and ask for a safe prescription.

Relax yaar, don't stress too much! Your baby is floating safely in fluid, they don't even feel the cough. Just drink warm water.

I know how scary it feels when the whole body shakes during a cough. The baby is well-cushioned inside, but please get some rest.

Take steam twice a day and do warm water gargles. It's the fastest way to recover without taking strong meds.

Don't worry, baby is safe inside the amniotic sac! But do try warm haldi milk and ask your doc if it's severe. 😊

My mother gave me warm ginger and honey water when I had a cough. It really soothened my throat without any medicines.

Anika Krishnan · Answer

Whenever I got a cough, I'd make warm ginger tea. Just avoid cold drinks for a few days and you'll be fine!

We worry so much after going through so much to conceive. Baby is perfectly safe inside, but please ask your doctor if you run a fever.

Your baby is in a premium shock-absorbent water bed in there! A little coughing won't bother them, but get some steam for yourself.

A normal cough won't harm the baby at all. Just stick to home remedies like steam inhalation and check with your doctor before taking any cough syrups.
