Rib pain at 16 weeks

[AKP79]

Is it normal to get rib pain at 16 weeks? It really hurts when I breathe and feels like my ribs are bruised. I have had a growth spurt this week as I went from no bump to a very noticeable bump which is quite high up. So wonder if it's just that, but it's quite painful on my out breath.

Completely normal. I had the same, felt like my ribs were bruised in the middle - just under where your bra sits. It'll wear off soon enough. Good luck x

Yes! That is the exact place. That's good to know it's normal, I didn't expect this kind of pain this early. I don't remember getting it at all with my DS, but that was 6 years ago and I was quite poorly mentally so don't remember much of my pregnancy with him!
