Pain in right hand side under ribs... constipation?

I can’t seem to find anything online with anyone with similar symptoms. I’m 24 weeks today and 3 mornings over the past week I have woken up and walked around and started to get a dull pain under the right hand side, just under my ribs. It causes me to have to sit down to relieve the pain. I have to eat to help get things moving then I go to the toilet to empty my bowels which does seem to help the situation mostly. I am speaking to my midwife tomorrow to ask if it is constipation but didn’t know if anyone had similar symptoms? I am going regularly everyday but possibly a build up?

I've got the same pain except I'm only 4 weeks. I suspect it's either constipation or gallbladder pain in my case. I did read that it can sometimes be a sign of pre-eclampsia, so deffo mention it to your midwife. X

Sorry to jump on but did anyone have any abdominal skin numbness too?

Epigastric pain can be a sign of Pre eclampsia, usually alongside raised BP and protein in urine.. but not always, so please tell your midwife just in case
