8 weeks pregnant

Ay, that tightening feeling when you cough is pretty common sa pregnancy, mama, it's usually just your ligaments stretching as baby grows, kaya parang nag-tighten siya pag may sudden movement like coughing. A few of us sa mommy group namin nag-experience din nito early on, pero para ma-rule out anything else and to feel more at ease, I'd really suggest checking with your OB para ma-confirm na lahat okay lang, especially since you're still early pa. In the meantime, try to support your belly when you feel a cough coming, or press gently on your sides, nakatulong sa amin na less painful ang feeling na yun.
