I know I have complained about this recently, but the pain under my ribs is getting worse =( It thought it was going away, but last night, I literally felt something "tear" as I turned to the other side. Now the pain has extended lower and is very tender to touch. It hurts to have my shirt on, and the only relief I have is when I don't have anything touching it. Every time Baby Haribo kicks or punches me in that area, I want to scream =( I am so.ready.to.go.home and take off my shirt! I know that no one can really help me, but I needed to vent.

Re: Pain under ribs worsening
I had that with my last pregnancy. It was awful. It got so bad, that I ended up going to my Dr to see if there was anything she could do to help me.
Sadly, there was nothing. I just had to tough it out.
Hope it gets better soon.
I'm so sorry. I am going through the same thing as you right now - since you are a handful of weeks ahead of me...well, at least I'm prepared to be in this for the long haul.
I asked my doctor about it on Monday when I was in for a visit and she basically used the same words you did - it is the muscles tearing across the ribcage as they are stretched, etc...Not that that is helpful to you right now but I think it is normal with some women (yay?).
