Sore tender rib and upper abdomen

[Lj8893]

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and for about a week although it seems to be getting worse, I have had a really sore pain in my upper abdomen near my ribs on my left hand side.

At first it was just when I was sat down and squashed abit for a period of time and stretching out helped it. But now it is pretty much constant and comes with the occasional shooting sharp pain in the same place.

It feels bruised but isn't.

Last week my midwife had a feel and my baby is lying near there but not quite up that high.

Any ideas what's causing it?

Could it be indigestion? I get eye watering pains under my ribs that are indigestion, worse when I eat spicy food and temporarily relieved by stretching. ..

I don't think it is, I'm suffering from bad acid reflux and it doesn't seem to be connected.

It's constant now, really feels like I have bruised my ribs somehow.
