Hi girls, I am booked for an elective C-section on the 10th September and have a really bad tickly cough which has exsited since the 24 week pregnancy, there is no ryhme or reason for it or when it comes but when it does I cough for anything from 15-20 mins up to hours even with cough lollies, sipping on water etc, I have been to the doc's on numerous occasions and had a couple of scripts of penicillian which helped get over the really bad stuff but it still lingers on, to the point (TMI) I dry retch and sometimes heartburn stuff comes up.

So my ??? are has anyone had a really annoying, dry retch type cough they can't control and been under the knife and how did you cope afterwards with the pain from the coughing.
