Yesterday googling for fun involved
'can coughing cause hernia?'
'can coughing break ribs?'
'can coughing break waters?'
'can coughing cause extra stretch marks?'
...
That's how it feels. I have to hold my ribs and belly in from violent uncontrollable coughing - it always feels like skin is about to split open! 34wks here. It feels amazing that my waters haven't broken already after all the pressure coughing put on it!
