| Discomfort: | aching ribs, probably caused by uterus pushing against ribs |

| Seriousness: | Unbearable |
| 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. |

| 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: | 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 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 |

| 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. |

| Discomfort: | Slight cramping at times. Mostly a tingley numb feeling, often when laying on that side. |
| Treatment or advice: | Laying on the opposite side of the pain. Laying on the same side but twisting the upper body on to the back and wedging a bit of blanket or pillow under the side of the breast and ribcage area. Keeping the area streched out is helpful. |

| Discomfort: | It started with me complaining of this spot going numb and burning on the inside - sporadic. Nothing I do would cause it. Now at almost 33 weeks it is constant and extremely painful. Not really numb anymore but very tender to the touch and hurts on the inside as well - mostly to the touch though. Ice does not really offer any relief and I am too scared to use heat b/c it feels inflamed on the inside. It is like a constant sunburn feeling or an open wound feeling - both inside and when anything touches the area. Bra, cotton, naked even hurts. Sleeping is awful - pain wakes me up and no position offers any relief. I am so miserable. Many women reporting it on the right side, mine was on the left side/center right below my breast. At times it doesn't hurt as bad and sometimes it hurts so bad I want to cry. |
| Treatment or advice: | Ice - helps for a very short period of time. Bringing it up to Dr in 2 days but do not expect any feedback. Sitting up while I sleep is the only thing that keeps me from waking up in tears. |
