Musculoskeletal pain: A cough can be tough on the body. I think what you have is a strain of the muscle that connects one rib to another in the back area. That can occur with an especially big cough, then everytime you cough again it hurts because that area is already injured. Because you're pregnant you should check in with your doc since pregnancy makes the body weaker (think of all those nutrients and energy 4 baby)
