| 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: | 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 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. |
