| Seriousness: | Unbearable |
| Discomfort: | I have been having a sharp pain in my left chest for a couple of days. I noticed it after doing some general cleaning...so I am guessing that I might have pulled something. It is constant and will not let up. It really hurts when I breathe, talk, cough, everything. I have tried a heating pad, tylenol, rest..help! |

| 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. |

| Discomfort: | aching ribs, probably caused by uterus pushing against ribs |
| Treatment or advice: | No treatment. The discomfort lasts for a day or so, then goes away for a while before it returns. |

| 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: | 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: | 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 |
