I was told that it was normal for most people to get sinusitis and other congestive clogging bugs around that time in the pregnancy, but I can't remember why. Congestion of the sinuses can be accompanied by a nasal drip that goes down the back of the throat which can cause coughing, but I'm not too sure. Always best to go and chat to a doctor if you aren't sure.

I have occassionally had a cough too - kind of like your typical smokers cough???
I wouldn't think it's anything to worry about.
I recently borrowed the "What to expect when you're expecting" book from my local library, it was pretty helpful with these sorts of questions.
However, if you're really worried just ask your doc.
