The baby is well-protected in the uterus, and even a hard sneeze will not affect the baby.
Overall, not much happens to the baby in the uterus when parent sneezes. That being said, they definitely might be able to feel it. “They may perceive mom's movement — and the baby may move in response,” Dr. Alice Sutton, M.D., FACOG, an assistant clinical professor at UC San Diego, tells Romper.
Perinatal outcomes can range from simple cold and cough with no complications to congenital disabilities and pregnancy loss. The study also shows that the chances of miscarriages, low-birth weight baby, or the preterm baby may be increased if cold and cough are left untreated during pregnancy.
If you sneeze during pregnancy, however, you might feel a sudden, sharp pain on one or both sides of your pelvic area. This is from sudden stretching of the round ligament of the uterus. It hurts a lot but is completely harmless.

Just like newborns, fetuses spend most of their time sleeping. Indeed, throughout much of the pregnancy, your baby sleeps 90 to 95% of the day. Some of these hours are spent in deep sleep, some in REM sleep, and some in an indeterminate state—a result of their immature brain.
According to March of Dimes, catching a cold will not harm a developing fetus, and the pregnant person will typically recover in a week or so. People are also more likely to catch potentially more serious infections, such as the flu, during pregnancy.
Although pregnancy rhinitis may start at any time during pregnancy, it most commonly affects pregnant individuals in the first trimester, or first three months of pregnancy, and again in late pregnancy.

Visitors with Illnesses
When it comes to visitors, those who have colds or other respiratory illnesses should not hold your newborn. If they do not have a runny nose, sore throat, or cough, it is ok for them to hold your baby, as long as they wash their hands or use alcohol hand gel prior to holding him/her.

There's no need to wait until 6 weeks or 2 months of age. Getting out, and in particular, getting outside in nature, is good for parents and babies.
In some cases, post-meal sneezing arises as the result of spicy or pungent foods. Common triggers can include horseradish, peppercorns, hot peppers, pickled foods, wasabi and dark chocolate. Temperature can also play a role. For some people, a sip of hot soup can bring on a sneeze.
