Can an uncontrolable constant rattling cough hurt my baby while pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on why you have a cough. If this is an indication of infections, tb...Then it can hurt the pregnancy. If it's due to something simple like postnasal drip, reflux disease, then no it doesn't hurt the baby.
