As a pregnant woman in your 7th month, it's essential to manage your cough safely; consider trying warm liquids like tea or broth, honey, and saline drops; avoid cough medicines containing alcohol, caffeine, or codeine; instead, opt for pregnancy-safe cough medications like dextromethorphan or guaifenesin, after consulting your obstetrician; in general, a cough itself doesn't harm the baby, but underlying conditions like pneumonia or bronchitis can, so monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or persist.

I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant, and my latest ultrasound showed that my placenta is posterior with the lower margin being 4.2 cm away from the internal os. It's graded at 1 right now. I'm really keen on traveling soon and just wanted to check if that's safe given my current condition. Any advice?
