Will sneezing affect baby during pregnancy?

Question

Im 22 weeks and got a bad cold, sneezing like crazy whole day. Every time I sneeze I feel a pull in my tummy and it scares me thoda. Is this fine for the baby or should I be worried?

Ankita Shroff · Answer

I used to worry about this same thing! Sometimes I feel a little pull in my lower belly when I sneeze hard. Anyone else felt that? My doc said its just the round ligament, nothing to fear.

Not at all beta. Baby is well protected in the fluid and womb. Sneezing is totally normal, you just hold your tummy if you feel pulled, thats it.

Hahaha no yaar the baby is sitting comfy inside, a sneeze is not gonna shake the whole house. Relax, sneeze freely.

Anika Murthy · Answer

Sneezing is completely fine, dont stress. If you sneeze a lot due to cold or allergy then mention it to your gynac so they can suggest something safe, but the act itself wont harm baby.

No no, baby is safe. Sneeze without tension.
