  I have been having a very similar feeling since Tuesday and it has only gotten worse. I am guessing it is just my uterus pushing on everything. I feel like my baby is so low, I constantly feel kicks near my pubic bone. I hope you get some relief. I took a bath and some Tylenol earlier which helped some.

  I've had the same pain my entire pregnancy. I asked my doctor about it a few times and he said it might be gallbladder related but that he wasn't sure. He wasn't too worried based on my symptoms which was comforting but, with that said, he offered no suggestions to make the pain go away. I've found that pressing on the area under my boob where it hurts helps ease the pain but that's about it. If you find a cure... Help a sister out!! It's not necessarily too painful but it sure is annoying!!!!

  I've had this for weeks. Went to the hospital and two different doctors for the pain. After doing kidney ultrasounds and blood tests it turned out to be sciatica. The added weight from the belly is causing a nerve to be punched and the muscles surrounding are spasming. Try ice and massage, it's the only thing that works for me. Heat actually makes it worse. Sometimes I can tolerate a gentle stretch also and that can feel better. Hang in there, it gets better.

  I also have the same issue. Had it with my first pregnancy, and now again with #2. Only it started earlier this time.
  I've been using Kinesiology Tape for added support. Esp when at work (L&D nurse doing 12hr shifts).

  I've had the same thing for 8 weeks now - also had ultrasounds on my kidney & liver, and my doctor said "Oh well, it must just be pregnancy." So frustrating.

  I get a painful pinching pressure on my left side, just under my boob and below my ribs. Apparently my boy is squishing my stomach into my ribs. It's hard to sit, stand, lay.. or pretty much do anything after I eat the smallest amount of food. Not sure what's on the left side to squish, but it's probably for the same reason. Less room!
  Ah the sacrifices we make for baby.. I hope you figure it out and feel better!
