Hi Stevie,
I've had whooping cough for the last 4 weeks, so I know how you feel! Don't worry, bubs will be ok. Is well-cushioned. I have injured my back and ribs from coughing, been on drips as can't eat/drink , but they say bub should be fine.
You can take Durotuss forte mixture for dry cough. It is safe. I have been on Panadeine forte - both for the rib injury and cough. You can take plain Panadeiene as it is a cough suppressant as well as offers pain relief. Don't take cough suppressants if you are coughing up stuff though. It prolongs the infection if you hold on to mucus from a chesty cough. Drink lots of water or warm herbal tea is soothing. Hope you get better soon. xxx
Hi Stevie,
I saw your post in the buddies thread but havent replied yet - then saw your post here and thought I would send you big hugs :grouphug::grouphug:
I know everytime I sneeze or blow my nose my belly hurts a bit, so I think i can understand what kind of pain your talking about. Im sure everything is fine with your bubs, just remember your muscles are all stretched right now and the cough might be placing just an extra bit of strain on that area. Remember bubs is well protected in there and might even enjoy the sensation of being hugged in closer to Mum.
Going to your Dr is a good idea, as Im sure he will calm all your concerns.
