I had a coughing fit and i think i have broken my baby bits

[Dirtydishesmakemesad]

I had a coughin fit about half an hour ago (i was eating curry it was spicy ) At the time i was getting awful stabbing pains in betweebn my hips with the pressure of coughing). Now i am so uncomfortable - i feel like little knives are in my cervix or at least what i assume to be that area.

I am 31 weeks with dc5 baby was head down but not engaged yesterday at my appointment. What have i done!. Is it possible to bruise yourself from the inside out?

p.s i have no other pains etc no contractions nothing else just the feeling i have a knife sticking up me when i stand!

It sounds like you have pulled a muscle with the coughing.

The muscles down there are so strained during pregnancy that it is relatively easy to do so. I was pulling muscles constantly when I had a chest infection a few weeks ago at 28 weeks and while very painfull at the time it soon heals.

Try a warm bath if it continues to hurt and rest as much as you can.
