pulled rib muscle whilst pregnant

[nicnac1225]

Has anyone been in excruciating pain because of pulling a musclebin pregnancy.  Ive been coughing so much I think ive pulled one. It hurts to move under my right hand bust on my ribs and hurts to cough or take in deep breaths. Just wondered if anyone else has had the same and how long it took to heal. Thanks xxx

I suffered through that from my third pregnancy. I remember sneezing felt like death! Even burping was painful. It took a good six weeks. I know that pain. It was unbearable. Now I'm having rib pain in my back and doc thinks I may have misplaced it. Not as unbearable as what you're going through though. Hope you get better!

Awhh I feel like ive broke a rib thing I might go docs again tomorrow.  I cant cope just taking paracetamol they dont do anything. Can I take ibuprofen? ? X

Wow, I remember earlier in my pregnancy I had a chest cold was coughing so strong I thought I was going to cause a hernia. The cold lasted about 3weeks, and I did form a knot on my left side of my uterus. It did feel as if the muscles were being ripped apart.
