at the beginning of the month, i pulled an abdominal muscle while coughing. I'm UPing, but saw my family doctor (who knows we are UCing) and he said the muscle was already tight from the pregnancy, and then coughing pushed it to the limit. That was the first time i'd seen a doctor in over 3 years. I was in so much pain, i was screaming and crying. He gave me tylenol with codiene for the pain. And i asked over and over again if it was ok being this late in the pregnancy, and he assured me it was. I only took it a couple of times until i got through the coughing stage. That muscle has still been sore the last couple weeks, but nothing terrible. And then yesterday, while drinking some water, it went down the wrong way, and it sent me into a coughing, hacking, wretching fit, that pulled my muscle all over again. 
Not quite to the extent as before, but now i'm in awful pain again. I'm really scared to take the Tylenol #3 this close to the end. But i'm hurting so bad i can hardly do anything. I talked to the phone nurse at the docs office, and she said "its fine" without hesitation. But i worry. So, can anyone give me any advice here? Is this something i can take without worrying that it will affect the baby? Or what if i took it and then went into labor soon after? would the baby have breathing issues?
thanks
