Is anyone due in May 2022 having rib pain?

Question

I barely ate anything today and my stomach feels like its gonna pop. I usually drink 5 (16oz) Water bottles a day and I can't even fit anymore room in my belly. It feels so stretched out, although I love my baby bump but, it feels super uncomfortable to lay down. I've been trying to sleep on my side but, I feel like my ribs are going to crack in half.. Sometimes I take a breather and sit down on my bed when I'm trying to lay down because my ribs hurt so bad? Is anyone going through something similar? What do you do to relieve the pain?

Answer

I had the WORST rib pain with my last two pregnancies. Only thing that helped with stretching and chiro. And delivering. That’s it! 🥲

Answer

I feel your pain! I’m due May 18th with twins, and for the last 5 weeks or so I’ve had the worst rib pains too. Side sleeping causes such pressure on my ribs some days I dread going to bed, and am not sleeping a lot because of it. I haven’t found a combination of pillows yet that relieves it! I haven’t really found anything much that has helped, I try and stretch out my ribs and torso each day, and when it was really bad I slept kind of propped upright so the pressure was on my back rather than my ribs but I wasn’t laid flat on my back. Hope it gets better for you!

Answer

Yes! I'm due may 17th with my third baby. And if I stand too long my ribs feel like they are breaking. If I sit too long it also happens. Trying to lay down is near impossible from the pressure. I keep having to roll from side to side until baby moves or the tension loosens.

Answer

With my 1st, my son LIVED in my ribs and enjoyed pushing against them to spread them out. It HURT! I used to put an ice pack on the top of my bump/around my ribs to move him down. My 2nd avoided my ribs. She was my bladder kicker. This 3rd one takes after her brother and is KILLING my ribs. My recliner is my only relief. Haven't had to resort to the ice pack with her YET but it's come close. She hurts my ribs when I'm laying down. I hate it haha

Answer

I’m due May 1st with twins & I’ve been having rib pain since 25 weeks or so. It’s just getting worse the bigger I get. Even with a pregnancy pillow, I’m so uncomfortable at night. It’s just going to be a thing until the babies come, I think.
