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.

I went to the hospital for this same thing... they think its my gaul bladder, Ill probably be having it removed after I have my baby!

I'm only 20 weeks but have had bad pain on my right side of the bottom of my ribs. I wouldn't think they're related but I was actually constipated. As soon as I 'went' the pain went away. Ate lots of fruit around 3-4 a day, lots of water and fiber cereal.

I have this too! Got it around week 28 (now at 30), and it's now on both sides, but not quite as severe as long as I'm not moving. All the getting in and out of bed at night really aggravates it. Did your doctor give you bedrest? I sure wish mine would!
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.

under my ribs on the left hurts so much i have tryed a hot bath butt only work for about10 mins but i will try the ice cubes.
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.

I have the same pain under my left rib. I felt better after trying Yoga. It is really unbearable though, like i have a broken rib. It is especially bad when I lay down at night.

your rib cage widens out in pregnancy, it can be very uncomfortable. try and maintain good posture and don't wear underwire bras.
this is killin me i'm only 26 wks so i dont think its the babys feet as my womb is not that high up yet. The only way 2 make it better is to stand up and rub it. it gets really sore during the day as i'm a travel agent and am seated all day.

I get a dull achy but very strong pain just under the ribs on the left side after I eat greasy foods. It feels like a gallbladder pain but on the wrong side.

My ribs are very tender on the left side. It hurts to lay on the left side although that is the side i need to lie on every night. Continuous stabbing pain in my left side. Awful to deal with at night!!!
