Coughing & pregnancy

Post by **Smiler** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 10:58 am

Hi all,

I'm 2 days over due into my pregnancy, and as you can probably imagine, am getting increasingly impatient!
The problem I have is, over the weekend I managed to catch the most irritating of sore throats accompanied with the most irritating of coughs! The chemist has given me some mixture to take which is safe during pregnancy, but I am a little concerned that the constant coughing and heaving is dangerous to my unborn baby.
I have the midwife tomorrow and will obviously go over this with her, but I'm just looking for a little reassurance in the mean time. I know babies are safe in there and can take a lot of jip, but I'm a natural worrier!

Thanks for reading.

babies survive alot worse than coughs, it might even help start labour a bit earlier

That's what I'm hoping! Just a bit worried thats all, as I'm obviously using my tummy muscles when coughing.

Still no sign... I've tried everything to get labour started to no avail. Pineapple, curry...you name it...but nothing is working!

Lol the baby will come when the baby feels ready.

Are you having a girl or a boy do you know?

I'm having a boy. I think he is quite like his father - takes his time with everything lol

Definitely doesn't get that laid back streak off me if so!

Well it is awfully cold out here and I'd imagine nice and warm and comfortable in there - I don't blame him hehe.

Sex lmao.

Always brings the baby along quicker lol.

My mate was a week overdue, so i told her and her boyfriend to have sex. They didnt even get that far and her waters broke. Lol.

She now has a bouncing baby girl.

Hop your little one has already made an appearence =]
