Pertussis and babies: Pertussis or whopping cough can be dangerous to newborn babies. Fortunately your body during pregnancy fully supports the child-so as long as you're checking in with your OB, I'm not worried about you or your unborn child. In fact, actually your child will get an immunity boost because you've just had the natural infection. Best for all in the family to be vaccinated against pertussis. Talk to MD.
