[dream2reality]

when i stretch my arms out.. i feel like just below my breasts.. where the rib cage is, it feels like a stretching pain is there! is this a normal part of pregnancy?

I get pain right under my rib cage but I have ongoing issues with my liver which turn into OC during pregnancy. It hurts when stretching, bending and if I press just underneath. I've heard other ladies mention on here that it can be sign of issues with your gallbladder too. Other than that maybe it's just a pregnancy ache, doesn't hurt to get it investigated though if it carries on.

Yes I had that when I was pregnant. Sometimes I get it still but that could be gallbladder related. By the way, it is usually gall bladder pain felt there not the liver.

A major symptom of OC is pain directly under the rib cage to the right side, it's something midwives advise you to watch out for. Obviously along with other symptoms such as extreme itchiness and a general feeling of being unwell.
