So much pain in my ribs.. Help? 😞

Question

In that area it hurts so much. Do you all know any ways to relieve the pain/pressure?
Is it the baby that causes it? It's been doing this for the past couple of days. I try lifting up my arms and changing positions but it still hurts so much. Lifting my arms up works best but ugh.. I just want to sleep.

Answer

Same here 😓 #shorttorsoproblems lol

Answer

Ditto, same pain. Walking around and rubbing from my midline down along my rib to my side sometimes gets those feet out of there. I've also tried an ice pack, and it worked like a charm, but I didn't want to make a habit of it.

Answer

I had the exact same pain. Baby girls feet were up IN my ribs on the right side. From about 27 weeks on. The only thing that helped me was to stand up and walk around, and rubbing/putting some gentle pressure on where it was hurting. Its all worth it though so.hang in there and once lo is born, it will be gone!

Answer

Wow i have the same exact pain for months and there is NOTHING thag can help me but only when I walk a little bit. When I sit it gets worst! Feel better

Answer

Oh my gosh! It is miserable - severe pain every time I try to move while sleeping.  Walking hurts - breathing - laughing - wiping 😣 I am miserable. My doctor said unfortunately not much to to because the baby is going to keep kicking that spot.  In the night if I have to change positions I press on the spot until some of the immediate pain goes away and move myself while still pressing the spot. - helps a little bit! 
Soooo ready for my little man to get here!

Answer

Yes it's the baby. I have the same problem my OB told me whenever baby moves he's hitting the nerve in my ribs because his butt is pressed against them. It's the worst.

Answer

I have this on and off too.. last night was awful they say keep a very straight posture and it brings some relief.

Answer

I had the same horrific pain in my ribs 😩 ended up telling the midwife at my appointment turns out baby was in breech position so his head was right in my ribs she ended up manipulating him a little bit to start to turn around!
