Really bad chesty cough...

[lace&pearls]

I know I'm being stupid, but can't help but feel like every time I cough I'm hurting the baby somehow? i know that sounds ridiculous but my daughter and I have an awful cold for a week. been coughing so hard at times I've nearly been sick and it sometimes hurts my lower abdomen. I don't see the MW for another couple of weeks and I can't feel the baby move yet so I just feel a little bit anxious

anybody else had this?

Also sorry if this is TMI been coughing so hard that my pelvic floor muscles are failing me!!! this hasn't really happened to me before... please tell me this goes away after pregnancy! - i could understand a bit more if I was big and heavily pregnant but I don't even have a bump at all yet. (am only 14 weeks)

I have the beginnings of a cold, bunged up nose and headache and I'm frightened to death to take any pain relief just in case it does anything which is completely stupid. Also being allergic to paracetamol really sucks.
With regards to pelvic floor I had problems last pregnancy even after doing all the pelvic exercises but after baby it was all OK.

oh no! that's such a shame you can't take paracetamol People recommended honey and lemon in hot water to me. I've just bought some halls soothers throat sweets, there's nothing medicinal in them they're basically a load of sugar - but they do sort of clear your nose a little bit x

ah thank goodness! I do my pelvic floor exercises all the time but I'm beginning to worry I'm not doing them right or something xxx
