Persistent Cough

Hi! I am 21 weeks and have had a cough since before Christmas so a month now. I’m so worried it’s hurting the baby- (I’m trying literally everything possible to get rid of it btw it’s just not budging). Did anyone have a cough while in their 2nd trimester and did it affect the baby’s development at all?

i’ve had a cough roughly since i found out i was pregnant in november. i’m now 16 weeks and baby is doing just fine. i think as long as you’re not short of breath then baby will be alright. if you’re truly worried, check your o2 stats and contact your doctor
