in so much pain im gonna cry

beany02 · February 2012

the last few days i think LO has been in my ribs, and today the pain is almost unbearable. its like someone is randomly stabbing me. im sitting at work and nothing i do is making her move or making it feel better. dont get me wrong, i love her more than anything, but i am not liking her too much right now!!!! i dont know what to do to make this feel better, i am on the verge of tears right now and i just want to go home so i can lay down and try to get this issue resolved, but i dont want to use up more of my FMLA leave than necessary and they will make me use those hours if i go home early today. anyone had any luck getting baby out of their ribs??

Could you try some yoga poses? Not sure if downward dog would help, but it might.

I second the yoga! And, a chiropractor's visit might help as well. My chiropractor while I was pregnant with DS#1 was famous for making breech babies flip, so a good chiro could possibly get everything into alignment for you and help baby move away from your ribs.

Try going for a swim or gently stretching it on a yoga ball!

This used to happen to my mom when she was pregnant with my brother and the doctor told her to get down on all fours and let her belly hang down. It helped her a lot. (so, pretty much, the yoga is probably a good idea!)
