Been having a dry cough for few days and my period is also delayed thoda, so my mind went straight to pregnancy. Maybe im just reading too much into it. Anyone else had cough before finding out?
I had a terrible cough in my first trimester and thought it was a symptom! Turns out it was just a regular cold, so don't worry, just drink some warm water.
It's likely just a low immunity thing. If you are trying to conceive or suspect pregnancy, make sure you get regular checkups, especially for things like thyroid, as colds can drag on if hormone levels are fluctuating.
A cough is usually just a viral infection or allergy, not a typical early sign. If you have a missed period, take a pregnancy test first, and definitely consult a doctor before taking any cough syrups.
Actually, a cough itself isn't a direct sign of pregnancy, but your immunity does drop in the early days, making you more prone to catching colds. My doctor told me to stay hydrated and avoid self-medicating.
