Caught a bad cold and have this constant cough since 4-5 days, im 20 weeks. Har time i cough my whole pet feels the jerk and i get scared if it harms baby. Is the coughing actually a problem or just feels scary? anyone been through this?
A mild cough is fine, but if it's severe or you have fever, please call your doctor immediately. I had a tough pregnancy and my doctor always told me not to ignore any persistent symptoms.
A normal cough won't affect your baby at all. Just stick to warm saline gargles and steam. If it persists for more than 4-5 days or you get a fever, see your doctor.
I used to panic thinking every cough would hurt my baby or cause pressure. It is normal to feel anxious, but coughing doesn't affect the pregnancy. Get plenty of rest, dear.
While a simple cough is usually harmless, it's always safest to consult your gynac. Pregnant bodies are sensitive, and we should never take any OTC cough syrups without professional advice.
I completely understand how every little cough or sneeze makes you worry about the baby. Don't worry, your baby is well protected in the amniotic sac. Take warm fluids and rest.
When I coughed with twins, my whole stomach used to shake! But trust me, the babies are cushioned perfectly in there. Just take warm steam and keep yourself hydrated.
Haha, don't worry, your baby isn't getting bounced around like a pinball inside! They are very cozy in there. Just sip some warm ginger water and relax.
Beta, normal cold and cough doesn't hurt the baby inside, she is safe. Drink warm water and take steam with a little carom seeds. Avoid heavy medicines without asking doctor.
