COUGH REMEDY

Uy mama, I feel you, ang hirap ng ubo especially pregnant kaya nakakabilib na kaya mo pa! Since your OB is monitoring you naman, I'd really push to contact her sooner if the throat itch is unbearable and you're not sleeping, kasi ang sleep deprivation din ay hindi maganda para sa baby and sa healing mo. A few of us had lingering coughs and ang aming doctors nag-adjust ng approach earlier than the 1-week mark pagka-severe na talaga, so don't hesitate to message or call your OB, they'd rather know. In the meantime, try adding honey sa warm water or milk (safe in pregnancy) and maybe ask your OB specifically about safe cough suppressants na okay while pregnant, kasi the constant straining from coughing ay worry mo but your doctor will have better options than what you're currently doing to ease the itch at get you some sleep. Hang in there, this will pass!
