Not sure if this the right place but here goes.
A friend of mine is due in around ten days time and has suffered with severe pelvic pains/sciatica throughtout pregnancy this time. She has now got a chest infection and is on Antibiotics. Yesterday after a coughing fit she heard a loud pop and was in agony.
After being taken to hospital she has been told she has broken a rib! And is now been put on codeine.
Is this safe and what can she do in the meantime.
No mention of inducing her or talking over labour with her.
It appears they want the rib to heal before she had her baby.
Anyone have any advice for her?
