Girls, hello. I'm 17 weeks pregnant. I had a cold, and cough still remains. Now I feel discomfort slightly below my belly when moving, for example, when I get out of bed, or turn from side to side. When I press my hand on my stomach, there is also discomfort. I don't understand if this is normal or not. I read online that uterine tone could be caused by coughing. I was sick for 5 days, tried not to cough often. Maybe it's just because the baby bump is growing? Has anyone experienced this? Please tell me if you have. I don't want to go to the doctor, she always prescribes a bunch of pills, candles without an ultrasound
