Feet in ribs!

[new mummy h]

omg this hurts so much! only been hurting the last 2 days but OMG how painful! thought it was my bra digging in a bit but my ribs feel bruised on the left side! x

Right there with you hun...it can be very painful cant it.

The only thing I found that helped was pushing my fist into the bit that hurt and that kinda relived the pressure a bit...until the little bugger moved back anyway!

i agree. it feels like a badly fitted bra doesn't it!!!! especially if underwired!!
but its notttt ouchyyy, legs in ribs is not fun.

- my little one is engaging now so hopefully she gets down there quick so she can't reach my ribs xxx

i get this too, nasty isnt it. Finnley likes to poke about at my right rib, feels like he's itching his foot on them xx

Hmmm, My left rib hurts as well, but only if I'm sitting. As soon as I stand up or lie down I don't feel it anymore. Could it be LO or something else?

I get this too, so I totally sympathise.
Sitting up really straight helps - like stretching out your ribs, and also putting a heat pack on your ribs or a hot water bottle makes it better.
