How much can one mama take?

I hurt. My stomach muscles are very sore. I think the reason is that I've been having a lot of allergy induced coughing, and I've strained my already overstretched stomach muscles. As a result, every cough results in excruciating spasms through my upper stomach. I really don't know how much more I can take. Well, yeah I probably do. I'll keep putting up with it because there's nothing that can be done about it. And to be frank, it's really not quite as painful as labor. I do worry about the potential impact on the little one inside, but he/she seems to be alright thus far. Still active and moving about.
