| Discomfort: | Severe pain between and around my ribs on the left hand side. Feels like the are being pried open... but my uterus hasn't reached my ribs yet! I've started to develop numbness around the ribs. Worse after eating and after sitting. |
| Treatment or advice: | Bed rest and loosen bra. Avoid sitting as much as possible. Avoid large meals. |

| Seriousness: | Unbearable |
| Discomfort: | A constant sharp stabbing, burning pain. |
| Treatment or advice: | I have been told so many things by so many doctors. They've even prescribed Zantax (acid reflux medication). The only relief is leaning back (recliner) and placing an ice pack on the area. |

| Discomfort: | Since week 18 I have had some unbearable pain under my ribs. But the pain in only on my left side. The Dr said it was from acid but this is not acid!! Still dealing with the pain at 27 weeks. Can't sleep anymore!!!! I have to sit in some funny positions to get any relief. I sleep until about 2 in my bed then go down stairs and sleep on the couch which helps a little. This is the only problem I have had my entire pregnancy. |

| Discomfort: | this is killin me i'm only 26 wks so i dont think its the babys feet as my womb is not that high up yet. The only way 2 make it better is to stand up and rub it. it gets really sore during the day as i'm a travel agent and am seated all day. |

| Seriousness: | Quite bad |
| Discomfort: | Sharp and achey pain on both sides of my ribs. It also occurs at the front and back at various times. Started at around 23 weeks and has been getting worse. It's even started waking me at night now. I lie on 1 side fall asleep for about half hour, them it gets bad enough to wake me so I turn over until it wakes me a short time later and so on... I suppose it'll be good practice for when the baby arrives! I guess I'd rate this quite bad to unbearable. |

| Seriousness: | Quite bad |
| Discomfort: | It usually only happens when I lay on the left side but can also happen when I am just sitting too. It feels like a burning sensation in my rib right under my left breast and it doesnt happen to the side at all. |
| Treatment or advice: | I brought it up to my doctor and they said it may just be all my organs being pushed up but it is very uncomfortable. |

| Seriousness: | Quite bad |
| Discomfort: | A stabbing pain in my ribs that can sting really bad if the baby is pressing against it, or if I sleep on it for too long. |
| Treatment or advice: | I am now 38 weeks and I think the baby might be still breech and so the hardness of her head might be the culprit, but I am not sure. What helps is changing position or sitting straight up and standing up with my arms stretching over my head to try and lift my ribs a bit - but the relief is short lived. The only real remedy for this is not having her in there I believe! But in the mean time, keep as much strain off the area as possible. |

| Discomfort: | I have a strong tingling sensation under my left breast, that often turns into numbness. This seems to happen more often at night, while in bed. Changing sleeping position does not alleviate this discomfort. |

| Discomfort: | The whole area across the upper part of the stomach(where the top of your uterus is) and right below the breasts. It's a constant stinging and aching pain that never really goes away. starts to sting especially after slouching for a long period of time and when arching your back you get a stretching and stinging pain all the way across. |
| Treatment or advice: | I just try to keep a good posture most of the time. it helps relieve some of the pain- Not ALL but some. dont really rub on it. I've realized that I rubbed the area so much that I have kind of lost feeling in the area. lol |

| Discomfort: | I have like this `buzzing` feeling under my left breast...feels like I have literally swallowed a bee :-) It's like a tiny constant vibration and the area feels bruised and sore when you touch it. You can't see anything from the outside and it's mainly when I sit up or slouch. It's very uncomfortable |

| Discomfort: | I get a pressure or pain in the left rib cage when I bear down to have a BM. It almost feels like a rib might snap if I push to hard. |
| Treatment or advice: | I have to shift to the right while sitting on the potty to strech out enough for the pain to stop. |

| Discomfort: | I have a sharp pain in my chest below my breast. It feels worse when I am sitting and a bit relieved when I lie down or stand up. My doctor says that my rib is not moving (the muscles and ligaments around it are not stretching), but everything else is growing and moving. |
| Treatment or advice: | I find lying down on my back or standing up and moving help it. I also find yoga (stretching) and getting out walking or jogging really help relieve the pain. |
