Pulled intercostal muscle

38 + 3 days pregnant, have had a chesty cough for last few weeks which has finally started to go however on Monday I coughed and felt a pop in my back, instant absolute agony! Pretty sure I pulled a intercostal muscle - went in to docs and they said nothing they can give me for it just paracetamol. Day 2 was the worst, muscle spasms lots of tears! It has stopped spasming now but still can only sleep on one side, rolling out and in to bed. I’m so worried about making it worse during labour, has anyone gone in to labour with this before? Any words of wisdom 😞

Oh wow you have my sympathy. I had that and it was painful enough not being pregnant/in labour. Can you get in touch with your midwife to discuss strategies/pain relief?
