Can Tight Chest And Bad Congestion In Pregnancy Harm The Child?
I am 28 weeks pregnant and I have real bad congestion and tightness in my chest and cant talk. It hurts to cough and when I do it is alot of congestion. I am worried that this can hurt my baby? This is the first time I have been sick since I got pregnant.

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
You seem to be having upper respiratory tract infection. This will not have any adverse effect on the fetus.
You should take steam inhalation to relieve your congestion.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
