A member asked:

Recovering frm a cold at 36wks pregnant. been a wk runny nose better bt developd a cough. can coughing harm bub? can it cause my waters to break?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PG coughing: Coughing in late stage pregnancy will not harm the fetus in utero unless you prematurely rupture your membranes from the increased abdominal pressure from an extended coughing session. Talk to your OB MD about the cough and see if he/she deems it necessary to treat it or not.
