A member asked:

I've been sick 3 times this pregnancy at 3 wks, 12 weeks & 17 wks. will this hurt baby? i haven't taken unsafe meds, stayed hydrated and no high fever.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sick?: If by sick you mean things like coughs, clods and sore throats, the answer is that these are seldom of any harm to your baby. These are usually common viral infections that your body fights off quite nicely. Some less common viral infections can be a problem. Check with your caregiver when you are sick. Nausea/ vomiting of pregnancy will not hurt the baby unless you become very, very i'll from it.
