Is coughing bad during third trimester of pregnancy?
I am 32 weeks and coughing a lot since two days, my tummy tightens whenever I cough hard. It is making me scared even though baby is moving. Should I check with doc if it continues?
Dont stress too much over a cough yaar, it sounds scarier than it is for the baby. Sip warm stuff, rest your throat. Just dont pop any random medicine, ping your gynac for a safe one if it gets bad.
A normal cough is fine, baby stays protected. But in third trimester i would just mention it at your next checkup anyway, especially if it comes with fever or it wont go away. Better to keep your doctor in the loop than self treat.
The cough itself wont hurt the baby, they are well protected. What you want to watch is whether its a bad infection or fever behind it. Warm fluids, steam, honey in warm water help. But if its lasting long or you have fever or breathing trouble, see the doc.
Girl i am 8 months and let me tell you, coughing with this belly feels like a full body workout. Its not harming the baby, theyre cushioned in there, but my poor bladder has opinions every time i cough. You are not alone in this lol.
Beta in the last months a small cough is normal, dont frighten yourself. Warm haldi doodh, tulsi water, honey with warm water, these were our old gentle helps. But koi bhi cough syrup mat lo without asking doctor, kuch syrups pregnancy me allowed nahi hote.
