Can coughing harm the baby?

[DaisieBee]

I have a cold and the last two days have had a really bad chesty cough. Has kept me up all last night. When I cough I always try to scrunch my body up to prevent pulling my tummy but my tummy is still aching as a result and am worried that this can harm the baby? Am I being stupid and paranoid or could the stress of coughing cause damage?

Thank You! Was so worried. Feels a bit better this morning, seems worse at night. If gets any worse will def go to docs, thanks for reassurance.
