Rib pain in third trimester

I'm 32 weeks and just in the last two hours I've developed really sharp, severe pain in the ribs on the right hand side only. It's linked the breathing - hurts particularly when I breathe in deeply.
I have a two year old who has been particularly uncooperative today so I've lifted and carried him a few times, I'm thinking I could have pulled something. However I am apparently at higher risk of preeclampsia. I have no other symptoms - swelling, headache, etc.
Can anyone who has had preeclampsia tell me if this is the sort of rib pain they mean or if it more likely to be a muscular injury?
I've been into maternity triage twice in the last week or two - once for reduced movement which turned out to be nothing, and again because I thought my waters had started to leak but they could find no evidence once I was there, so I'm really hesistant to ring again. I feel like I will be on a hypochondriac list somewhere if it's another false alarm!
