sharp pain while breathing?

i'm just waiting for my midwife to call me back so i can discuss this with her, but i'm curious if anyone else has had this too

Sounds like a cramp or bruise in your ribs. That kind of pain can seem scary, like there's something wrong with your heart or lungs, but it's rib pain.

my midwife said i may have a lung infection (i've had a cold the past couple days, so she said it could have made its way into my lungs) or i've popped a rib out from coughing so hard. i'm just happy it's nothing to do with the baby and it's not too serious.

A lung infection can be serious! I'd want to get to the doctor ASAP.

yeah i guess you're right, i keep forgetting infections are especially bad during pregnancy lol. i made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon.

Lung infections are always concerning IMO because they can easily snowball into pneumonia.

Tomorrow is plenty soon enough. ;) Sorry if I seemed too frantic.
