Rib Pain?

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to treat rib pain? Between my uterus pushing up under my ribs and my LO kicking me in the ribs constantly, I actually have purplish bruising over my ribs under my breast. (I swear that this little guy is going to come out with full grown, adult male feet.) The main issue is that I can't find a way to make it more comfortable (short of walking around with my hand under my bra holding my ribs in). Any suggestions?

  • I also have this issue. It's so painful and a constant occurrence at this point. Talking to my OB tomorrow to see if she has any ideas.

  • Let me know what she says! I don't go back for another week or so.
  • The thing that helped me was loosening my bra so it didn't push in then just try not to bend your torso at all. No bending over or even slouching a little forward in a seat. If it makes you feel better, mine only lasted about 3 days but I never got bruises. Hope it gets better!
  • I have this feeling too. Even with my bra off. I just want someone to walk around holding my boobs up for me..haha!

  • MssyMmmy-  My husband volunteered to walk around behind me holding up my boobs.  I'm not sure that this would end up being a realistic option for me, but I totally agree!
