Rib pain & feeling like rubbish

I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant & the last couple of days I've had a full ache in my right rib , just under my breast
In addition to this , I feel absolutely rotten
I'm so tired that I'm going to bed 6:30/7 in the evening , waking up at 11am the next day & still feeling exhausted
Luckily I'm off work this week , but I go back Monday morning - I'm dreading feeling exhausted & irritated in work
I have a headache that seems to come & go with no obvious cause

I've just had a hot bath to relax me , & I had to get out as the pain was increasing in my ribs to quite uncomfortable levels

I can feel baby in my ribs , I believe , I tried rubbing my belly in the bath ( normally he responds ) to try to move him but he hasn't moved

Does anyone have any advice on what I can do other than continue with this Smile

Hi OP. It could be baby's position (as it was for me), but also pain in that area and headaches can be warning signs of pre-eclampsia, so you absolutely must contact your midwife about this. This is not to scare you, but to make sure you can safely have it ruled out or get the care you need.
