What is this pain?

I have a really irritating pain/ache right under my bust (below the bra line) and in the centre.. But I have no idea what it is! It's been coming and going and feels a bit like a stitch and only seem to get it after I have a long bout of heartburn! Is it related? It's driving me insane.

Also, if anybody knows what it is, how the hell do I get rid of it!? X

You need to contact your midwife/doctor. This can be a sign of preeclampsia. I had this Tuesday, went to OOH and ended up being admitted! With me they reckon it's my gallbladder but it is important that you get seen - get your BP checked and your urine dipped. Paracetamol and gaviscon are safe to help in the mean time.

I haven't had high bp, or protein in my wee so far, and have been relatively fine. Other than a few sleepy moments! But its like a stitch and is there every 6 hours or so for 5-10 mins and goes!
If it gets worse then I'll definitely contact hospital and midwives! X

I've been getting this (28 weeks) but only if I've been on my feet for a while. I think with me it's gravity pulling everything down!

I have had BP, urine and HB checked today and all was fine.

Mine was continuous hence why they were worried. Definitely worth mentioning to your MW though.

I've came to the conclusion is that the underwire of my bra is digging in!
I only got measured 3/4 weeks ago, but my bra now feels too small and uncomfortable. The pain doesn't seem to occur when it is undone or off, and think it helps if I don't slouch! So we will see, if it continues I will be at doctors in no time! X
