extreme rib pain

[dolores12]

i am 39 weeks pregnat today and am having a section on wed but really cannot cope anymore. my rib pain is so bad docs gave me codiene for it . but it is only getting worse if i lie down it takes my breath away asthough i have broken ribs and cannot sit either ! the only time i am remotley comfortable is when stood up!!! soooo not practical any advice please!!!!!!!!!!

Are you short, Dolores? I am, and I remember the pain vividly. I slept propped upright on pillows for the last 2 months with DS2, who was quite big.

Still, the end is in sight for you. I found the pain went instantly on delivery.

Good luck on Wednesday.
