Coughing In Early Pregnancy Posted: 12-10-03 03:49am
Hi,
this site has been a comfort to me and
it's my first time actually asking a
question. I am 8weeks pregnant and due
for an ultrasound next week. Four days
ago I developed a bad chest cold that
keeps me up all night coughing. At times
I feel i'll cough up a lung! Also, since
I developed the cold, my nausea, which had
been present the whole time previously,
slowly disappeared. I'm so scared that
something may have happened to the baby
and that all the coughing may have had an
impact. Can anyone offer any advice on
loss of symptoms at this early stage and
also heavy coughing? It would be much
appreciated. Thanks:)

Well have you called your doctors offive
and ask them? Before you wait for your
appointment call and ask. I dont think
there should be in harm in the coughing
but you never know. Good luck and
congrats.

Thanks nikki,
just wanted to let you know that I went to
the doctor and had an ultrasound cause I
was so worried. I saw the cutie moving
around in there and saw the heart beat
too. The doctor said everything was great
and that the coughing won't hurt the baby.
Unfortunately no medicine is truly safe
to use so I just have to wait this one
out. Thanks again for your response.

Ok there you go! Im glad your ok! And
maybe a vaporizer can help. Or if not
that, a steamer. To unclog everything.
My sister used that. Or warm water with
lemon and honey, it soothes the throat.
Good luck!

That is what my worry is right now is why
I have been coughing for weeks. I will be
11 weeks tomorrow and I can't seem to get
rid of this awful cough and sometimes I
cough stuff up. Its not pretty. I read
it is an early sign of a molar pregnancy,
so I am a little nervous. But you take
care and congrats on the baby!

Yeah, I have the same thing going on, but
it's hard to tell with me because i'm
around little kids all the time.

I am around kids a lot also and I am also
around people at my work. I keep thinking
that I could possibly have allergic
rhinitis of pregnancy
(commonly called hay fever). Not real
sure if that is what it may be or not, but
hopefully it will get better as time goes
on.
