I had a cough that kept me up all day n night when I was about 15weeks doc said my lungs n all were fine n that mine was just part of my pregnancy but u should deff get it checked out just incase

What helped me was sitting up at night keeping my shoulders n head up, it's not comfy but the coughing stops

I feel you, I have bad insomnia these days. I havent had it the whole pregnancy, but at least for the last 10 weeks. Most days I wake up at 3 am and cant go back to sleep, and I dont nap during the day so I am drained. Today I woke up at 1 am :/

If you are coughing so much, have you asked your doctor if you can take any over the counter cough syrup? Also, are you sure you dont have some kind of infection? We pregnant people are immunocompromised and catch things more often, if I was up coughing for days on end, I would see my doctor, or at least call and talk to the nurse, give them my symptoms and see what they recommend. Good luck! No sleep *****.
