Cough & I don't know what to make of it

SethandMelissa

I've developed an unpleasant and unhealthy sounding cough the past few days or so. The thing is, I feel perfectly fine other than the pregnancy symptoms.

I was wondering if any of you developed a cough while pregnant - maybe from the pressure on my lungs from the twins? Should I go to the doctor even though I feel fine? I see my OB on Tuesday. I'd be less worried but I don't really like the sound of it. I should also mention that I'm not, nor have I ever been, a smoker.

I just got over some nasty-straight-from-He double L upper respiratory crap.  It started out like an annoying cough and went downhill from there.  I ended up on antibiotics, steriods, cough syrup and nebulizers. 

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hope you arent getting that! I wouldnt wish it on anyone! 

Take care!
Drink lots of fluids, vicks your feet then put on socks, and run a humidifier.

Yeah, I it's going around here. I developed a cough last week, which turned into a fever, which is back into just a cough. I did call my dr. and she told me to take Robitussin if I need it and drink lots of water, but unfortunately it's just going around and lasts longer with pregnant women.

I have had a cough since Dec 11th... the cough started out and then turned into a head cold, it sort of went away but then the cough came back full force cold but no fever. That finally cleared up but the cough has stayed, some days are good and other days just awful and my throat feels full of crap. The cough will get so bad I start throwing up. Do a humidifier, drink lots of water and easy on/or no dairy, Also try Wal-finate Antihistamine (walgreens seem to be the only place that has it) - this is what my MFM recommended. They don't know why, maybe crap draining into my throat but I have not other symptons and feel fine otherwise (beside the swollen feet and large belly).

I hope yours goes away soon, keep us posted.
