  UGH, me too. But it's only one side and some days it's really bad and some days I don't notice it much so I always thought it was baby's feet pushed up against them. This morning I read that it's actually the muscle seperating from the ribcage to create more room for baby. Does it feel like stretching? Mine's more like pushing but I guess that's what stretching could feel like???

  My back / ribs were killing me and I had shortness of breath.  Turns out that I had dislocated a rib!  That was about 2 1/2 weeks ago.  Ever since then my Chiro has been my best friend and my back has never felt soooo good, even before i was pg.  Hope you feel better soon!

  It gets a little better as the pregnancy progresses. Mine starting really bothering me at about 10 weeks, then the ribs got better and it moved to lower back pain.

  i called my doc about the rib pain last week and the nurse had me go to triage to get looked at b/c i was THAT comfortable. i ended up having an ultrasound to look at my galbladder.. turned out to be growing pains.  i still get them on a daily basis, but i kind of just have to deal with them.

  nurse said its caused by baby pushing all of my internal organs into my ribs.. with all that movement, the ribs have no way to move but out.. which causes the pain.
