Hi,
I'm 16 weeks pregnant and having a terrible caugh with cold. Went to the doctor 2 days back but he advised me not to take any caugh medicine since they contain alcohol. I have 2 questions.
1. Do you use any alternative for caugh?
2. I'm caughing so hard and frequent and from yesterday I'm leaking urine or something when caughing. I can't recognize it from the smell but it happenes only when I caugh hard. Can that be amniotic fluid? Do you think I should go to a doctor again?
Many thanks

if you are not comfortable do visit your doctor. I had a bad flu and cough, i went to the doctor, he gave me safe meds but told me to take it as less as possible. He advised me on taking warm water with lemon or honey and a little ginger (very Chinese eh?). It helps a lot and it actually tasted very nice :) Hope u r well now. Happy pregnant!

I am pregnant and had HORRIBLE coughing too, too bad that i cannot sleep at night as i cough every hour or so with phlegm. Went to see my doctor but as expected, he said we cannot do anything, it will pass, just drink a lot of liquid, i put lemon in my water. Honey and ginger didn't work out, the more itchiness it becomes. It lasted for 2 weeks! hang in there.........doctor says baby is NOT affected at all with our coughing, it doesn't know what is going on. Take care. Rest more too.

Thank you very much!
I started to use some honey and lemon with water. Seems it is helping me. Me too can't sleep properly at night and sometimes the caugh ended with vomiting. Mmmhaaa what a horrible time....
Thank you both of you for your input.
