I have had a previous thread on here whilst pregnant about the persistent pain I had under my right rib and sometimes right round the right side and up the right shoulder blade. I had this a lot during pregnancy and was fobbed off by thE midwife who just said it was normal and my countless Google searches led to nothing. I just thought I should update people in case anyone else was suffering similar (as it seems a fairly common pregnancy problem) which is that post giving birth and the pain continuing it turns out it was gallstones! Very common in pregnancy and for me the pain was certainly set off by the vast quantities of fatty crap I was eating!

Just thought I should share in case anyone was suffering similar.

I had this for ages- apparently the baby can press on a nerve in your diaphragm and the pain can radiate to your shoulder blade. My baby was breech for a while which made the pain awful as it was his head pressing on it. After he was turned it lessened but still happened at times with pressure from his feet.
