Sharp pain on my right side

KeakamaiWed129721

Due Aug 15, and only this week i’ve been getting a sharp pain that always shoots through my right side, on the back side of my ribs. It only starts when I’m sitting and it will usually go away if i lay on my left side or go into fish pose (though sometimes it persists if i lay on my right side). And once it starts it quickly comes back any time i’m in a sitting position again.

i stretch throughout the day, and usually fit in a short workout and 20-30 walk every day. 

is anyone else feeling something similar? And if so, have you found any other remedies?

Ouch. Sorry lady! It sounds like round ligament pain - your abdominal ligaments will stretch to support your growing belly and it can be quite painful and annoyingly persistent. If it's worrying you I would reach out to your doctor or the nurse's line to see if they can recommend anything to help. I hope you feel better

I get a similar pain in my upper ribs when I'm sitting for awhile, less of a shooting pain and more of an uncomfortable dullness with a bit of pain. My OB said that my growing baby is probably pinching a nerve, and that pains like that near the ribs are common. I'd check with your doctor to be safe of course though!

I have painnon both sides depending on how the baby is positioned. It is definitely uncomfortable. Lying or sitting position can affect how painful it is as well.
