I'd go to urgent care - this doesn't sound like it can wait all weekend.  Get someone to listen to your lungs and get the chest x-ray if needed.  They can shield your belly with a lead apron.

I had bronchitis while pregnant and had antibiotics and codeine cough syrup for 3 nights so I could sleep.

I had a very similar experience with both of my pregnancies. I had popped out a rib. It happened once with my first and this time it has happened 3 times. It is a result of coughing/sneezing and dehydration. I went to a physical therapist both times to get it back in place. It was super painful while taking deep breaths, coughing, etc.

now im kinda leaning towards something to do with my rib from coughing so hard. what can they do for that?

I get that pain every time I get bronchitis. A heating pad usually helps, plus of course treating the infection.
