Rib pain 5 weeks

[lydia771]

Hi, I wondered if anyone could help. Since the weekend I've had a constant niggling pain in the back of my ribs, when I lie down I get a sharp pain in the area and it sometimes hurts to breathe. It's starting to keep my up through the night. I've attached a photo of the area of pain.

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow, I just wondered if this could be related to the pregnancy and anything to worry about? or if it is just a coincidence.

Anyone? 😞

The area you have pointed out is near to where your kidney is.
Pain is common in pregnancy, but not sure on back pain in early pregnancy as that usually comes later on.
If it's an unbearable pain or your struggling to go for a wee then call NHS 111 or your GP.
You may have the onset of a UTI. I have had kidney pain when I've had UTI's in the past.

Hey, I'm 5 weeks yesterday and I'm having sharp back pain slightly lower, if you are unsure though.. You could get a call back from your gp :)
