No, coughing is not a sign of pregnancy. But it can occur later in pregnancy, from your uterus pressing on the vagal nerve. This can trigger coughing, hiccups or occasionally even pressure or discomfort.

If you have a severe cough and you think you are pregnant see your doctor or clinic. This is not a good time to be self medicating. Your doctor can give you safe cough medication if needed. And let you know if you are pregnant or not.
