So apparently being hugely uncomfortablely pregnant and sick with a respiratory virus wasn't enough, due to the severe and violent coughing I had it caused me to fracture ribs on my left side. For the past 4 days the pain has gotten unbearable and it's been nearly impossible to move or get in and out of bed. I was told they are most likely fractured and was told to bed rest because you can't labor with broken ribs. I'm wondering if any moms here have experienced fractured/cracked ribs while pregnant and how they managed the pain. So far Tylenol and ice/heat do nothing and I'm terrified of going into labor early. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
