Baby in ribs?

I am sure this has been asked before, but what does it feel like?  I have a dull pain on my right side that is right around my ribs.  I felt him kick me in the ribs twice today (quite painful) but now it is on the right side of my body and it is really just a dull ache.  The doctor's are watching me for pre-e so of course I am over analyzing the pain on my right side and the more I think about it, the more I notice it but they have been taking blood samples every week and they have come back clear.

Re: Baby in ribs?

  • i've had that pain (bra strap area, right side) for MONTHS been getting increasingly worse and it sucks.  mostly get it when driving or sitting up straight (think movie theater - hunger games was a nightmare thanks to this!)... dr told me it was just another ache from baby invasion!

  • I know it is her in my ribs and not an awkward pain because it moves around. I can pretty much feel the path where it comes from. Usually if I get on my Yoga ball or on my hands and knees I can get her to move and it is way more comfortable for me. But she does have a mind of her own! If she wants to stay there she stays regardless of what I do. 

    The last thing I try is drinking really cold water - she moves all around when I do that and it usually means getting her out of the position that she is in that is bothering me. But I do feel like that is cruel punishment haha so I try not to do that to much lol I'm sure she already hates me enough for poking her all the time to make sure she is still moving!

     Good Luck! Only a few more weeks!!!

  • My baby is so high that it hurts to have my bra on. It's not really too tight, he is just right up there. And after I eat I have problems breathing because he is SO high. I have a massive belly and look like I swallowed a watermelon!

    I can't wait to drop.

  • LO is breech and her head is literally right under my left boob.  I'm only comfortable when I'm reclined, which is really a blast considering I work a desk job.  Haha!
