Pain at the top of the belly?

Hi fellow mommies to be.  Is anyone else having a sharp, rather constant pain at the very top of their bumps - right under the breast.  So far, its my most uncomfortably symptom and I have no idea what it is.  Any ideas?

Re: Pain at the top of the belly?

  • I was having that same pain for at least a month and then it went away.  I believe it was my LO's rear end pushing up into my ribs.  When I would put a little pressure on the area she seemed to move a little.

  • I get a similar pain whenever I overdo it, at least that's what I've correlated it too. On days when I'm running around a lot with my daughter or doing a lot around the house or whatever, I end up in a lot of pain by dinner time and can barely cook! Laying down for a bit usually helps, or some stretching on all fours as that takes the strain off those ligaments above you belly... otherwise just slowing down.

     
  • I have this right now SO BAD!! I thought it was just from LO kicking hard at first, but from what I've read, it's the muscles that hold the ribs together being stretched, which makes sense since your uterus is squishing everything up there now.
