Pain in my ribs, right under breast..

Geback723 · May 2010

Over since I "popped" I have had this constant dull pain on my right side, kind of right under my breast, in the ribs. It gets worse if I slouch, my dr. said its normal from everything being forced up in there and its just pressure. Its just really uncomfortable. Anyone else have any kind of pains like this? If so, have you found anything that helps? Tongue Tied

It feels like a muscle strain, its not fun. But I guess if its the worse thing happening to me, I can't complain,right? Its just annoying. Stick out tongue

So glad you posted this! My ribs just started hurting me in the exact same spot this weekend!! It's just a dull ache but I feel like it's constant and the same as you especially when I slouch. Right now the babies are laying one on top of the other so I think it's pushing everything up. I'm assuming it won't get any better from here. Sometime if I hold my right arm up over my head and rest it there it relieves some of the ache.

Thanks, I will try this. The crappy part is, that my dr. told me it will probably get worse as I get bigger..greeaat....

YES! I have it and it hurts really bad at times. I haven't really found anything that works. Sometimes if I lay down and stretch out it soothes it some.

I noticed this started last week it almost felt like my ribs were bruised! I did some reading and it is supposed to be pretty much normal since we are growing. Like a previous poster mentioned putting my arm or arms above my head does help and also practicing good posture. I guess we may as well get used to it from here on out since we will just be getting bigger!!
