Question I am in my second month of pregnancy and feel coming down with a cold. Coughing great deal, I tend to get bronchitis easy. I also started to get a sore throat. Should I go right away to get checked out or try to fight it? Also, can being sick like this cause me to have a miscarriage?
AnswerDear Melissa,
No - a cold or virus doesn't in and of itself cause miscarriages. It may be a good idea for you to call your doctor, however, and let them know that you have a tendency toward bronchitis and have a cold starting and describe your symptoms. He/she may want to get ahead of it. You can also find out what medications, if any, they will want you to take to relieve your symptoms.
I hope this has helped you and answered your question. Be well!
Brenda
