i know what you mean! i am always afraid i messed something up when i sneeze or vomit!  but i think if its a healthy pregnancy its made to stick in there no matter all of that normal stuff! : )     you can take benadry 1-2 pills before bedtime, that should help! : )   cnograts on the pregnancy! : )

Hi Cybermommy,

I'm no doctor, but it doesn't seem like coughing would be enough to detach the baby from the uterus.  I guess cough syrup is out when one is pregnant, but my grandpa used to give me one tablespoon of honey mixed with a little lemon juice when I had a bad cough when I was little.  It was one of those home remedy type things, but it always worked for me!  Hot tea with lemon & honey might also ease the coughing.  

I hope you feel better soon.
