| Seriousness: | Unbearable |
| 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: | I feel like my heart beat is really strong, it doesn't feel like it is racing or beating really slow, it just seems like a harder beat. I know that sounds stranger. It happens more when I am stressed or when I take a walk. |

| 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: | 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: | 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: | Burning feeling in what I think would be my muscle, sometimes more acute than others, accompanied by extremely sensitive and tingly skin for an area of about 5 quare inches. |
| Treatment or advice: | My doctor says the tingly skin might be damange/irritation to the nerve due to an underwire bra, and suggested I switch to non-wire. Today is the first day without an underwire, no relief yet. |

| Seriousness: | Unbearable |
| 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. |
