Back/Rib/Muscle pain

[SpottyPython]

I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my second. It's a lot harder on my body this time. I'm just getting over my second cold since Christmas so am quite miserable. I'm fed up of honey and lemon!

Anyway because Ive been coughing so much I think I may have pulled a muscle in my side and back but I'm unsure if it's just normal Pregancy rib pain or something that I should see someone about? Did you get rib pain when pregnant, can you describe it for me please?
I can't lie on my right side at all it's so sore, in fact I can't even get comfortable sitting down anymore. It's so tender to touch.

Feeling pretty sorry for myself today

My rib pain tends to be under my left breast. It's very nervy - so sharp stabby/burnt/ electrical. I've had it so that it wakes me up nightly for about 2-3 weeks. I'm currently 33+2. I was told it's normal by midwife. Text/ ring your mw tomorrow if it makes you anxious.

I've found that baths and ice (not at the same time) help a bit. As does stretching my arm over my head and leaning to the side slightly.

Get it checked. I had a pulmonary embolism (not when pregnant) and mistook the pain for back/ rib/ pulled muscle pain at first. I couldn’t have been further from the type of patient you’d expect to have a PE

Thanks. Mine sounds different to yours physicskate and hopefully yours too willardsjstevens!

Would anybody else that has rib pain during pregnancy let me know what theirs feels like please?

Currently suffering with rib pain and have been for around 7 weeks now. I've never experienced anything worse and it's not letting up.

Mine is only on the left hand side and goes from feeling like a strong muscle pain (as if the muscle has tensed quite hard and won't relax) to getting a sensation like pins and needles or a strange buzzing right where the ribs start on that side just below the boob.
Also feels as if my ribs are getting dragged down my the weight when I'm lying on my side. Gets worse on exertion.

For me it's now constant where it only started around half way through the day when it first started. Nothing helps either.
