A member asked:

Is having a really bad dry cough bad for my baby 31 weeks pregnant can't sleep due to the coughing all night keep throwing up clear fluids?

Possible: You need to seek medical attention for yourself mamma. Baby is probably doing ok. But i'm concerned about your all-night coughing and throwing up clear fluids. Seek treatment from your ob/gyn especially for maternal health, but also for health of baby. Good luck.
