OMG! I'm sick of coughing!!!

[Shanti]

I've been coughing pretty much all the time for the last 3-4 days with this cough/cold I have..... it's REALLY annoying me, not only because it's annoying but it's hurting my stomach muscles now. I try to cough gently but it's hard sometimes.

Is this bad for the baby in any way or are they pretty resilient little things in there? I just hope i'm not upsetting bubs too much, i would have no idea?!
Geez I would hate to have bronchitis that would be bad......

I'm just tired of coughing

Nah, you're probably giving bubs a nice massage. The amount of fluid around them, they're not going to be bothered by coughing. It will drive you completely batty though.

Hope you're better soon hon!

Oh you poor darling! Coughing while youre pg is sooooo uncomfy. I'm sure your bub is fine though
If you want a tip to stop coughing - put vicks vapourub on your feet with socks on to go to bed - it works for me!
Hope you get better soon xo

Oh I just noticed this is my 700th post! Yay!!

i hear ya! i have a chest infection at the moment! so over coughing too!

Thanks girls. It's one of those dry irritating coughs where it feels itchy my poor belly and ribs feel a bit bruised!!! Glad it can't hurt bubs though thanks.

I'm going to try the Vicks on the feet tonight with socks (i wear socks to bed anyway) so that hopefully should work! Thanks! I have in the past rubbed it on my chest but then it stains my singlets/clothes!!

Oooh good hint about the vicks - have to try that here cos I'm coughing my lungs out all the time too (and nothing has happened Ren, so I wouldn't worry, I think they are tucked up pretty nice and cosy inside)

Can you take codeine? Its very good at stopping the spasming coughs. I had whooping cough last year so i know what you mean about being sick of coughing!! I was also sick of DH complaining about it LOL
