My ribs/just under my boobs really really hurt. All the time. Doing my head in.

I'd decided it was because my bras were too small but (TMI) I've not worn a bra all day (fab comfy sun top instead) and it's STILL SORE.

Now I'm practially 6 foot and only 31 weeks so I really can't believe it's baby's feet up there already.

Any suggestions??

Tassis - I've got this too. It's a pain under my left rib. I had it with ds too. Apparently it's the womb etc pushing everything else up towards the ribs rather than a foot or something. It goes when I lie down though or stand up. Just sitting down is the problem...

i had this with both of my lo's - large babies though - apparently your ribs open up, especially towards the end, to accomodate other internal organs being pushed out of the way by uterus - mine was seriously painful by the end but it is normal!

yes everything moves up including ribs! it is painful. i don't think there is much you can do about it

Yep, I had this. Just everything squashed into a much smaller space to accomodate that growing baby.

Oh well, reassuring to know it's common.

I had sore ribs last time, but I remember it being at the end and I thought it was ds kicking. Couldn't think what this was.

Think I'll need to et measured for new bras too...
