I had horrible rib pain toward the end of my first two pregnancies. *confession* I used to tie a scarf around my ribs right under my boobs and it was the only relief I ever felt.

I was having trouble with my ribs slipping out of place. My chiropractor said it was the relaxin hormone causing the ligaments to not hold them in like usual. But after having her check a little farther, she said where I'm feeling the pain, right side under my breast, is where my gallbladder is and I needed to get it checked out. Now I have an ultrasound scheduled for Monday morning on my right upper quadrant.

Does it hurt more after you eat?

I have it, too. I asked my OB about it yesterday and he said: "Oh, yes, completely normal. And it's going to get worse. One of the joys of pregnancy!"

I like him.

@Pippylongstocking1 -- I had a sharp pain right side under my breast a few weeks ago. I didn't know my gallbladder was there! My mom (an ER RN for over 30 years) told me it was a kidney. Thankfully, the pain subsided by the next morning and hasn't reappeared. I wish I knew what I ate/drank that day.

I'm going to mention it to my doc at my appointment next week.

Good luck ladies!

yep! Mainly on my right side... my doctor said it was normal and only going to get worse with twins. I don't know if I can deal with much more... feels like my ribs are cracking!
