Every night the cough gets worse and i cant sleep properly, ab pet bhi pull hota hai with each cough. 28 weeks running. What did u all do for relief without medicine? pls share.
When I was at my parents' house, my mom used to give me warm water mixed with honey and a tiny bit of ginger juice before bed. She also made sure my head was propped up with two pillows. This simple trick really helped soothe my throat and let me sleep peacefully.
Just get a good steam inhaler and use it right before you go to sleep. Propping yourself up with an extra pillow helps prevent acid reflux, which actually causes a lot of nighttime coughing during pregnancy. If it doesn't get better in a couple of days, just ask your doc for a pregnancy-safe syrup.
Having a cough at night when you already have two babies pushing against your lungs is a special kind of torture! My practical hack was using a humidifier in the bedroom and sleeping almost sitting up. It stops the post-nasal drip that triggers the coughing fits.
Coughing at night is so frustrating and it's completely normal to feel anxious about how it might affect the baby. Don't worry, your baby is very safe and cushioned inside. Try taking steam before sleeping and sip warm water, it really helped calm my nerves and my cough.
I had a terrible dry cough during my late pregnancy, and keeping a flask of warm water on my bedside table was a lifesaver. Sucking on a small piece of mishri (rock sugar) or ginger also helped prevent those sudden tickles in the throat. Try to avoid sleeping directly under the AC vent.
