i have felt rib pain off and on for a few weeks now, but it's def getting more intense... and it's not always pain, to be fair, sometimes it's just tingling or pressure... i know that my ute is all the way up there, i can feel the top of it right under my boobs... so is this just my ute pushing up on my ribs most likely?
on my left side, for some reason, it's worse than the right. i feel like something is constantly wedged in my lower ribs, esp when i lay down. it is very uncomfy.... :-/ and i can't imagine it will get better, lol...
anyone else have this?
Re: rib pain? like something is pushing on my lower ribs...
I posted about this a couple of months back when it was much worse for me and others confirmed that they had it, too! Then I read someplace that your ribs actually expand ... so that might be partly where the pain comes from. I found that it hurt worse after I ate and if I slouched so I tried to stand/sit up straight. Also, someone had recommended putting an ice pack on my ribs which seemed to help a little, too. It has gotten better for me.. I don't have nearly the pain that I did before.. so I think I can say that it will get better for you, too, in time!

i had it really early on before there was much of a baby to push or kick me. Like choco_lab, I think it was just my ribs expanding. It has gotten much better, though. I now just feel pressure when the baby is up there (feels like she likes to rub her butt on my upper ribs!), but not pain.

i felt that too--it was awful! i would sit with a heating pad on my back at work. my chiropractor was able to help. if you haven't gone already, you might want to find a chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy. (i think you posted about going recently). i went every 2 weeks and it made a huge difference
I have had rib pain since my first tri. It is awful but normal.
