Im 23 weeks pregnant and ever since yesterday i have been in a lot of pain with the top of my ribs, just under my breasts… Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?? Should i consult my GP or Midwife?? xxx
Answer:
Hey Honey
I’ve been feeling anguish in my ribs sometimes lately not pain though. I think its down to the position the baby is in.
If your still worried after you’ve seen the answers on here just give you mid-wife a quick call. XxXXxXXx
Answer:
Yes a lot of pain on the top of your ribs, just under your breasts is normal. My cousins and a lot of my friends have experienced this as the babies' sometimes like to play up there as uncomfortable as it could be, the baby is making more room for itself to grow and develop. Consult your GP or Midwife, if this still is of concern to you but it is normal.
Answer:
It sounds like maybe just normal stretching pains…HOWEVER if it positioned only on the right side near your ribs it can be a sign or pre-eclampsia so you may need to watch this. Pre-E causes the liver to swell and it will cause pain under your right chest.
I would consult my midwife/gp just in case. You never know, what's normal for some people is hazardous to others. I'm 24 weeks and haven't experienced pain in that area but that doesn't mean that I wont or that it's bad.
Answer:
Is it your ribs or your stomach?
Either way, both normal.
Stomach: I had horrible stomach aches in my early 20-weeks because the baby pushed up my stomach to make room for himself. (Especially when I would bend down.)
Ribs: I don't get much rib pain because my placenta is high, but I do feel pressure there from time to time. So I have the ability to imagine some ladies might feel pain there if their placenta isn’t in the way.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
i asked my midwife she stated its because now the baby is getting bigger your organs are sorta being pushed here there and everywhere she stated its nothing to worry about it n to lay down if you get it. i myself experience this usually if im sitting forward if your still concerned talk to the midwife
congrats n good luck xx
Answer:
As your uterus expands your rib cage stretches outwards.
If you are in a lot of pain you should rather speak to your GP or Midwife. Another thing you can check is if you are wearing the right bra.
Physicians are there to help and Won´t think you´re silly for asking.
Rather be safe than sorry!
Hope this helped 
Answer:
My friend just had her baby a few days ago, and during her pregnancy her ribs hurt her a lot. She realized it was the baby pushing on them, however she still consulted a doctor about it. So I would say everything is ok, but go get checked out just to make sure.
Answer:
it sounds like you have gas/air trapped.drink lots of water and rest.it also sounds like your insides are moving further up,to grant room for baby.sounds normal.call your ob/gyn and ask them just to be sure.
Answer:
I get this too and down my sides, I think it;s just the babies kicking away at things in there!
I've had another scan this day and everything looks fine so I wouldn't worry about it, looks like it's just growing pains!
Answer:
It could be heartburn. I had serious pain in my upper stomach and my doc said it was heart burn. Ive heard of it being where you described it as well. if your not sure call the doc and ask
Answer:
As the baby gets bigger it's taking up room and pushing on anything in its way. I wouldn't be concerned since the pain is in top of body/torso.
Answer:
Is it permanent pain? Is it on and off? It's probably nothing to worry about, but if you are worried call you midwife or GP for advice.
Answer:
I am 18 weeks and have been having the same think. Its just gas bubbles, really uncomfortable. Drink some water it helps.
Answer:
