Dull ache in right side

Hi ladies, Ill be 24 weeks on Saturday and this past week I've been having a dull ache in my right side. Like stretching but in my ribs. It's worse when I sit , but always there. Wondering if anyone else has had this? This is my second pregnancy, my DD is almost 4 so I don't really remember much from that pregnancy.

Thanks!

  • YES.  I've had the same thing the last few days.  I am wondering if it is round ligament pain.  I have a unicornuate uterus (half) so baby is just on the right side.  Just guessing it is stretching?

  • I get that all the time - I also get numbness in my ribs as well.  Sometimes if I do some yoga it feels better!  But it's no fun

  • I was getting that a lot starting at around week 18. Not so much now I'm at 24 weeks now. My doc said its becuz my fibroid in my lower abs is so big, organs and baby are higher up against my ribs. She did make it seem that it was normal to experience with normal pregnancies. Yoga helps me as well.

  • I just asked about this yesterday!  My doc said it's pretty common and that in my case it's my ribs moving so that my lungs still have space.  She recommended stretching when it gets bad

    When my hypochondria was in full force I googled, and it can be a symptom of preeclampsia, gallstones, and all kinds of craziness - but unless you have other symptoms of those issues, I would say it's just your body adjusting to make room.
