Hello, I am just wondering if anyone else is experiencing pressure below their ribcage. I think it is too soon for organs to be getting pushed up into this area. It isn't painful, just feel a little tight.
I had a pain that felt like a broken rib under my left rib at the beginning of my second trimester. I did a lot of Googling and it seemed normal. Luckily, it's since disappeared! At least for now.
Could it be heartburn? I was getting lots of pressure in my chest, right between my boobs and I was so nauseas. I wasn't sure if it was heartburn or not, tried Tums and GasX off and on, but nothing made a big difference. I did some research online then talked to my OB at my last appt and she recommended Zantac or Pepcid, I feel so much better! Guess you can have heartburn w/o the burn.
I've been having pain in my right side about 2 inches below my boob since about 14 weeks. Cones and goes, not related to heartburn or gas. It's annoying & is pretty painful!

I would tell your OB. I had high BP that resulted in hospital bedrest and was told to notify the nurses right away of any pain below my breasts because it could be my liver. Better to just mention it to your doc to rule out anything of concern.
I had this sort of pressure/tightness around 12 weeks. I felt like my ribs were expanding. I think it was related to bloating, constipation, and gas. It is gone now. I'm 16 weeks.
