Bad cough and pain in sides (22 weeks)

I have had a pretty bad, chesty cough for a few weeks now. I'm prone to these thiongs so have just been getting on with it, plus know that I can't really take anything for it just now (I'm 22wks PG). Anyway, over the last few days, I've been getting really very sharp pains in my sides (just below my rib cage when I cough. They catch my breath they hurt so much. Anyway...wondered if anyone knew what would cause this? And, are there any pregnancy-friendly cough medicines...? (Have already had the odd spoon of Benylin in desperation)

I had this too and my midwife said it's because the ligaments are much stretchier so it's easy to pull them with coughing and sneezing.

Agony though isn't it!
