Rib pain

[Kmx]

I'm only 19 weeks but for the last week or so I've had a pain in my ribs which has got worse the last couple of days. Has anyone else experienced this and can advise how I can help it?

I remember getting rib pain with my first pregnancy but not until I was well into my third trimester and I could feel the baby under my ribs. It's so painful im not sure how I will cope with it for the rest of the 20.5 weeks! It's also spreading to my back ribs and not just the front ones.

I've just started up with this today, I was hoping I'd got away with it this time! The only way I can get rid of it (except by laying down) is by sitting up completely straight and even then it creeps back after a while and I find myself sitting it all sorts of strange positions to get some temporary relief.

I have had this from around 20 weeks with all my pregnancies and never really understood what it was as I too thought it surely it can't be baby at this stage. I asked my midwife when it started in my first pregnancy but she just said it was things moving, baby in awkward position etc etc.

I feel your pain!

I think its the organs that are moving up I remember having it in my previous pregnancy at 20weeks I felt choked I couldn't even eat properly ...
