Rib flare - (pain in the ribs during pg) what can I do?

[jennifersofia]

Don't know if I have the right name for it, but basically there is a certain spot in my ribs that hurts, mainly in the evenings.
What could I do to alleveiate the discomfort?

TIA
Jennifer

how many wks pregnant are you?

Try sitting upright rather than slouching. It could be indigestion, try drinking a glass of milk and avoid anything spicy

I had that a lot but when the baby was bigger - so about 6/7/8 months.
It was her heel pressing on one of my ribs and it made me feel quite sick sometimes. I used to press it gently to move her and was a bit likie having an alien in there!!!

hello

no real advice here, but lots of sympathy. Am 21 weeks preg and have had exactly the same problem for a few weeks now. It's really annoying. Sitting up really straight helps, but it's a bit tiring!

Am going to ask midwife at my next appointment so i'll post here if she gives any great advice.
