What Is The Cause Of Vomiting?

I am currently 7.5 months pregnant and ive had a horrible cold for the past week and a half. well this morning around 9am, i got into a major coughing fit. and from that i began to vomit a white foamy substance. I was curious as to what it was and if this was normal.

Continuous coughing fits may result in vomiting, and phlegm may present as a foamy mass. Do get a consultation from a physician and an obstetrician also, so as to be relieved of cough. Straining while coughing increases intra-abdominal pressure which may result in stress incontinence, leaking of urine, later on. Additionally any infection in the mother has a chance of being passed on to the baby.
