my ribs are killing me

[CloudBee]

It's not going to stop until I have the baby is it?

[huskymom]

It comes and goes. Depends on the baby's position!

I've had rib pain on and off. I had a few good weeks with nothing. But last night, baby figured out how to get aaaalllllll the way up under my ribs! It was crazy how high up it got in there, but it's running out of room now...

I had horrible rib pain, from an old injury, when I was pregnant with my daughter. Once she dropped it was much more bearable.

Google how to do "cat and cow" positions if you don't already do yoga. These worked wonders for getting DS out from my ribs.

Mine hurt in the middle, but felt better when she was big enough not to be able to fit behind them anymore. I want to say that was around 32 wks.

Mine hurt horribly (up at night moaning in pain on a night basis hurt) and felt like someone was tearing them apart from about 24 weeks on. The best things to help were tylenol (the dr. said some of the muscles were getting stretched and inflamed), wrapping my ribs in ace bandages to provide counter pressure, and ice. I also made sure to take tums or pepcid AC b/c sometimes rib pain is actually heartburn, but it just feels like rib pain b/c all your organs are so out of place.

My ribs were actually bruised from DD kicking and wedging her feet in the same spot constantly. I was in pain for pretty much the entire third trimester. I started to feel better a few weeks after delivery when they had some time to heal.

Hope you get some relief soon!

When he moves down in the 3rd tri your ribs will feel better, but then your pelvis & hips will probably hurt.

Yup mine hurt for the last half of pregnancy. He never dropped so I never got that relief

He started kicking me during labor in my ribs and that was not fun, I can't lie.
