Hi
I'm 26wk5days and get quite a bit of pain under my bump when walking.. even short distances like a school drop off from car to school. I also get a sore right hand side at times, along the whole side & a lot of pressure under the ribs.It's like my right side is bigger than my left so assuming baby is mainly here. Most of my kicks are low so also thinking baby might be breach, not sure if that's the reason for the pain or if it's round ligament pains or if I should be more worried.
Anyone else had anything similar?

So sorry, no answers from me! Its my first, so I'm not exactly a fountain of knowledge. Following though as I'm also 26.5 weeks with the exact same symptoms - even the low kicks!

I've got round ligament pain. I feel it in my pelvis (on the inside). I did ask the midwife - she asked was it on both sides (mine is) so she wasn't concerned.

Definitely not had pressure under ribs, I was under the impression that the ligament pain is hips only.

I had only felt movement in about a quarter of my belly, lets say it is a clock face...so between 6 and 9 on the clock and baby is head-down and has been since 20 week scan.

Thanks @Dipsydoodlenoodle might be worth a call to the midwives just to be sure!
The pressure under my rib I'm pretty sure is the baby, pushing up or lack of room as it's sometimes after a big meal!

@Mabelhc were the exact same!!! Hope the rest of your pregnancy has been good!

I am 24+3 today and not having much ligament pain at the moment, but I am having super low kicks - didn't even think that could be an issue (FTM here too!). Did you speak to the midwife? If so, what did they say?

Sounds likely to me, I had it quite bad with both my pregnancies. The rib pain sounds different though - I had that too with my first but with me it was related to gall bladder issues / icp but I think in most cases its just pressure from baby. I'd just mention it at your next appointment.

I haven't called midwife yet.. it's eased a lot since the night before last & yday morning. Went a walk to test the pain and there was none lol
I've midwife next week so will mention it then.

I don't think low kicks is a concern.. it's just making me feel like the baby is breech .. will find out that next week too Smile

I've been feeling kicks low down as well but baby is definitely head down. Turns out they are punches.

I've been getting a lot of kicking (recently say 30ish weeks under one side of my rib cage) - the midwife when I was there last time told me it was feet. I then asked her for the position of the baby as it all just feels squidgy to me haha.
