3rd Trimester

Headbutting my ribcage!

The past two weeks or so, LO has been jamming her nugget into my upper ribcage, sometimes stretching out so she can push it even harder. You can actually see the roundness of her dome pushing against my skin. It gets really uncomfortable and I can't make her stop. Even pushing back on her doesn't work half the time. Anyone have any suggestions for how to get her to at least cut back on this? I keep praying every day that she'll finally flip so she'll stop doing this.

Re: Headbutting my ribcage!

  • No suggestions! Still have this now...its her butt pushing up there, and the pain is so bad at times! Worst part is it happens mostly at night~ Hopefully it will ease up for you soon! GOODLUCK

  • No advice here either and my LO is also head down and sticking her butt into my ribs. I thought it was her head for the longest time because of the size, roundness, and hardness, but nope - turns out she's head down. Hope you find some relief soon!

  • Get on spinningbabies.com and look up ways to encourage her to flip! My baby was breech up until a couple of weeks ago, and it only took about 3 days of doing the inversions off the sofa and one time doing the ice and heat packs to get her to turn around. Now she has her butt and her feet up in my ribcage, which isn't comfortable either, but at least she's got her head in the right place!

  • I have feet in my ribcage. It sucks the cajones.
  • Last night my LO alternated between kicking my ribs & sticking her foot in there & flicking it out (or at least that's what it felt like!). I think either way it's gonna hurt!
  • Unfortunately, even when she flips, it won't stop.  My LO has a habit of stretching out, so that both feet are pressing, really hard, into each set of ribs at the same time.  It's quite painful and the only real thing I know of, to make her stop, is to give birth.
