Will coughing hurt my baby?

Amanda
I'm 8 weeks preggo, and getting over a pretty bad cold I had last week. Now all the gunk in my chest is breaking up, so I'm coughing a lot...to the point that my abs are sore. Is this dangerous for the baby? I mean, I got a list from my OB of OTC cold medicines that I can take, so that helps with the coughing a little...but still.
