not that i've ever heard of, and i had colds while pregnant with each of my 4 kids. now cold medicines...that's a different story. make sure to check with your OB before taking any over the counter cold medicines. if i remember right, plain robitussin for coughs, and benadryl for runny noses and such. but no, catching a cold while your pregnant will not hurt the baby.

I am 37 weeks along and trying to get labor going. I have a cold and am coughing like crazy. My baby is still happy and fine in there. I am also dilated to a 3 and 70%. So.. if it doesn't put someone term that is ready into labor I don't think you have anything to worry about. Baby is fine in there and very well protected. Even if you get the cold your baby will probably just fall asleep with all the coughing. Good luck

Please don't worry. A cold won't hurt baby at all, it will probably just make you miserable. lol
Baby is protected in your uterus and even if you are coughing and sneezing he/she is well cushioned. Also, the cold virus cannot be passed through the bloodstream and cross the placenta to your baby.
Just get some rest and drink your favorite juices and teas.

No don't be worried it won't harm your unborn baby.if you are really worried about getting sick, just stay away from your sister so you don't catch it. you should be fiine. but check with the clinic if you are still worried.
