A member asked:

I am 3 month pregnant women now days i hve cough not regular but once its start will take 10 to 15 minutes i would like to know it will affect to baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Coughing in and of itself will not harm the baby. However more than 10 days with a cough is something that should be examined by a doctor. There could be asthma, bronchitis or other chronic problems involved. See you doctor so you can address this problem.
