Think I've pulled a muscle in my tummy- anything I can do?

[CharCharGaborIsDefoAChevHun]

It's the second one this pregnancy but this one is much more painful. It's at the top of my bump and feels either like a dull deep ache or a sharp pain depending on whether I'm sitting or standing. It feels weak when I stand up from bending and I can't laugh or cough without pain Anyone know of anything I can do to ease it? Thanks

I'm almost 30 weeks btw

Hmm, a bath or a warm (not hot) hot water bottle might help, and don't be afraid to take paracetamol if you find they help. Not much else you can do though, you can't use ibruprofen gel or deep heat afaik.

Thanks Will give a hot water bottle a go in a mo I think and take some paracetamol before bed as it's keeping me awake. Am currently flopped on the couch which is nice as it's not twinging. Don't remember it hurting this much last time
