| Discomfort: | I began to notice that my rib cage became increasingly sore after sitting for about 25 minutes or more. I called my doctor and was told it was COSTACONDRITAS, (rib joint inflammation). It is caused by ribs being bruised - I have apparently had it since my first child (19 years ago), but because I hadn't gaind this kind of weight until now, I didn't know it. |
| Treatment or advice: | If you are PG there really is no medical treatment. You can take Tylenol to help relieve the pain, I have not, trying not to take any type of medications. I do use a heating pad at night and ICY HOT during the day. I try to get up and walk every 15 minutes to reduce the discomfort. That's about all you can do. |

| 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. |

| Seriousness: | Unbearable |
| Discomfort: | The pain is unbearable. If i lay on my left side it feels like burning/cramping/or tightening. If it is pushed on i will feel this sensation right through to my shoulder blade. The pain will wake me and make it impossible sometimes to get comfortable. |

| Discomfort: | Hard pressure under my rib- like a huge organ is being squished in there. |
| Treatment or advice: | Complaining about it helps |

| 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: | Im nearly in week 31 now and keep getting a really sharp pain / ache in my ribs on the left side about a cm below my bra line. Doesnt overly affect my breathing & I know its nto heartburn. Is really quite painful though - would almost describe as similar feeling to a cracked rib or pulled rib muscle, except that it does go away occosionally. |
