| Seriousness: | Unbearable |
| Discomfort: | Achy pressure behind my rib cage on the lower right side only. I feel as though I constantly have to hold my rib in, so it won't roll up and out. It started out as an occasional pain when I slouched, but now at 27 weeks, it's become almost constant, regardless of position. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? My friends are at a loss, and my doctor didn't have much insight. |

| Discomfort: | I have a dull constant pain in my right rib cage and it goes around to the back of my rib cage. It's very uncomfortable and it never goes away! |
| Treatment or advice: | I lift my right arm over my head to kind of stretch out my right side. This seems to help until my arm starts to get tired or tingly. |

| Discomfort: | I started to get this sharp pain in both my ribs. One day it would be on my left side the other day my right. Sometimes it would hurt for 5 min. Sometimes it would last for about 15. I dont know if it could be from my baby or if there could be something wrong. has any1 else felt this before? How long til the baby really gets up in the ribs? |

| Discomfort: | Numbness. It feels like a painful numbness, like how my hands or feet get pins and needles. Almost like a little bit of vibrating. At first it was just a little irritating, and now (35 weeks 3 days as of Nov 7), its getting more painful. |
| Treatment or advice: | Doc said it MAY just be muscle spasms. |

| Discomfort: | Baby's foot/butt is constantly putting pressure right under my right rib. Feels like dull throbbing. Only gets very brief relief when baby stretches her legs out to one side, but always returns to the same spot. |
| Treatment or advice: | Gently pushing her feet away from the area, but it's only temporary as she always returns. Cold glass of ice water makes her move sometimes. |

| Discomfort: | It feel like a stabbing pain right under my boob. Whatever I do makes it worse. Cold things make it worse. Standing crouching, nothing helps but pain killers. An half the time that doesn't work. It's not something you can deal with. It hurts way to bad. |

| Discomfort: | At first this came once every so often and never lasted for more than a day. I am now in my 32nd week of pregnancy and my rib is very bruised and has been going on for days. I mentioned it to my midwife along with the awful acid reflux I've been having and she shrugged and said after pregnancy it will go!!! Not the help I was after. |
| Treatment or advice: | Holding my arm up gives some relief but I can't walk around like that all day! My first child gave me no hassle, you wouldn't have known he was there but this one seems determined to brea free! |

| Discomfort: | from time to time i get a horrible, breathtaking pain under my rib where the ribs end. It feels like a burning pain, or a cutting pain. I notice it alot when I am getting in or out of the car. It truly feels like someone has a lit match on the inside of me or like someone is cutting me from the inside. Also, the skin is very sore to touch in this area. Almost feels burnt. My only comfort is knowing that I am delivering in 5 days. |

| Discomfort: | Dull to sharp pain by my right rib. Constantly there, sometimes better than worse. Hurts to lay on that side for a prolonged period of time and feels like my ribs are bruised when touched. |
| Treatment or advice: | The doctors said the way the baby was sitting was pinching my tube leading from my right kidney to my bladder, causing it to retain liquid, swell and stuff. They say it can be dangerous if lasting thoughout the entire pregnancy. Is known to cause perminent kidney damage. I'm 23 weeks now and it is starting to get better. Treatment is to have surgery to install a tube leading from the kidney to bladder. I've decided to live with this discomfort, the only side effects the doctors said are pre-mature labor and discomfort from the tube. Why risk it. So i am on tylenol 3 |

| Discomfort: | Sharp pain after sitting at a desk all day (work). Wearing a wire bra doesn't make it easier. |
| Treatment or advice: | I only get it when I’m at work or sitting for too long, So it’s mostly during the week, by the time I get off work and home, It’s really bad. I relieve it by taking off my bra and go lay down. My dr said my baby (boy) is very high, and I’m guessing when I sit down he has less space to move around so he tends to poke me in my ribs! Wearing a bra with a wire is really bad, it’s very light pressure but it’s very painful! |
