I can't get this kid out of my ribs

[Deleted]

I can barely breathe right now, it hurts so bad.  In every single pregnancy, my kids seem to wedge themselves on my right side directly under my rib.  I'm only 25 weeks and am dreading how much worse this will only get.  I'm tempted to jump up and down to dislodge the little guy

Can you push on him?

I haven't experienced this yet. Sorry you are in pain.

DS did that and I send you so much sympathy!

Ugh, I'm sorry. I agree w/ PP - can you push him down at all?

A similar thing happened to me yesterday morning. I was trying to wash up in the shower and one (or both) of the babies were right up under my ribs on the left side and I couldn't even bring my leg up to wash it. When I tried it felt like I was suffocating.

DS used to kick so hard that when he was born I checked his feet for bruises. It really used to hurt. Could you drink some iced water to see if that will make him move?

Ugh, I feel your pain. At 37 weeks she still has some body part hitting my ribs. I can't tell what part is which anymore.

I wake up at night to swift kicks or punches to the ribs on my left side, and she has some other body part all nestled in my right (either butt or head). It hurts!

I have read to put something cold up there and they will move away. My girl just kept hitting it lol Definitely try pushing baby away.

That sounds awful. I hope one of the strategies mentioned will help. Good luck!

Whenever I feel a leg/foot up in my rib area, I am able to for the most part push him down. Have you tried? Laying down also helps.

My first had her head in my ribs until 39 weeks 2 days when they did a c section. I had shortness of breath but nothing like this pregnancy and I'm pretty sure this one is not stuck in breech, and I'm only 27 weeks. ::gasps for air::

AJ had his ass in my ribs for what felt like most of my pregnancy...not suprisingly, his favorite position to snuggle in is currently on my chest, with his butt up in the air.

My doc recommended a cold pack, but my kid does not give a damn about a cold pack. I think she takes it as a challenge. Good luck, it sucks!
