  I think its going to depend on what is causing the cough. It could be something like a cold which there's not much you can take for that pregnant, it could be caused by allergies in which you can take allergy medicine, or it could be something like bronchitis which is generally treated with either an antibiotic if its viral (generally acommpanied by a fever) or with a steroid, which I currently take pregnant, but needs to be discussed with your doctor.
  
  A cold is going to generally be a more "wet" cough accompanied by mucus, allergies generally are accompanied by things like itchy/watery eyes and possibly a stuffy nose, and bronchitis is generally a deep, dry, barky cough. I'd say if you think its either of the latter I'd talk to the Doc about a good med. The first you may want to wait it out a few days with cough drops and see if it subsides.
  
  Hope you get to feeling better!!!
