Is it possible for my ribs to be bruised?

I've been feeling LO in my ribs since about 27 weeks. He is posterior and I can't get any relief when I sit down or stand up. If I sit down, I feel him so more in my ribs. If I stand up, my back hurts. The only time I get relief is when I lay down which I obviously can't do that all the time. A few minutes ago, I stood up and my ribs literally feel bruised. Is it possible for LO to do this to me?

    Yes, mine are and my mom had her ribs bruised when she was pregnant with me and my siblings. I have even heard of some women getting their ribs broken by babies constantly kicking on them. I would think you'd have to have very brittle bones for that to happen though.

    If I learned anything from Breaking Dawn, then YES! But medically, you'd have to check with your doctor ;)

    I keep telling DH that it feels like I was punched in the bottom of my ribs. SO painful, and I can't really find a position to relieve it. Ouch!

    There is a spot right at the top of my ribs that feels literally like a burning hot iron is being held to my skin. It hurts to the touch. So I'm going to say YES, they can be bruised...among other very uncomfortable things.

    OH YES. I have been battered and bruised for many weeks and right now I have two displaced ribs that hurt like hell. So yes ma'am and it could get worse!! I hope for your sake that it doesn't. :)
