I have both pregnancies developed a postnasal drip that resulted in coughing
in the third trimester. It resolved upon the hormone shift at birth. I
have read that this is a hormonal thing. I would not automatically take
antibiotics for it. I wasn't "ill". I would have been too concerned about
the side effects of the antibiotics had a doctor prescribed them for me for
the cough.

I'm trying to avoid the antibiotics, and certainly won't take them
without calling the OB first, just to check in. This one is definitely
not post-nasal drip based, though. It's clear that there's gunk in
my lungs that the cough is clearing out. For now, the Robitussin seems
to be helping.

It was nasty at times. I had to watch incontinence during the coughs and
occasionally would cough myself into a vomit.

That sounds like a serious drag!
