Excruciating Rib Pain? 31 weeks
I’m coming to you all for advice because everyone I seem to ask makes it seem like it’s soooo normal but I can’t take much more of this! My ribs on my right side specifically hurt on a constant day to day basis , it’s directly below my right breast, not on the sides. The left side is fine, no pain whatsoever. I only noticed this pain around 26 weeks or so, and now it’s gotten worse and has turned chronic it seems. Every move I make, coughing, hiccups, sneezing, laughing, trying to change positions in sleep is agonizing sometimes. I no longer get a full nights sleep because of it. 🤧 My Doctor did assure me that he believes it’s because my torso is small (I’m only 5’0 and all belly) , and he basically said it’s a fight for space at this point. And said that everything tends to shift to the right during pregnancy, including my baby. The pain sometimes brings me to tears, and to even think that my son isn’t done growing is scary. Some days I think a rib has GOT to be fractured, nothing about this feels normal. Has anyone else went through this?
