pain in sides near rib cage

[fashionlover]

Ever since I hit 29 weeks I have been feeling so stretched out. By the end of the day I have this tightness and aching near my ribcage, and my back aches really bad. I know I am only going to get bigger and it will get worse. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, what do you do for relief?

Yes i have this! Midwife said if it feels bruised and tender its just baby kicking/stretching to make room and get comfy. Not so nice for mummy!! I have been sitting on my birth ball rather than slouched on sofa, and using a mountain of pillows under bump/sides in bed. I feel ur pain! Hope it eases soon xx

It's not fun is it. Bra off. That tends to sometimes help a little. A pregnancy pillow which supports my belly and back. A V shaped pillow between my knees. (So yep, driving DH nuts with all the pillows, lol) as mentioned above, bounce in the ball as well as kneel over the ball to gently stretch out. I hope you find some relief (I'm sitting here hearing your pain too).
