Extreme right rib pain ... any recommendations?

[GymGirlMum2]

Hi everyone,

Currently 26 weeks pregnant and have awful right rib pain, right underneath my boob, whenever I sit down for more than a few minutes. Standing up and lying down ease it but I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips to help ease the pain?

I'm fit and healthy and midwife said it's very common and not much can be done. It's not linked to preeclampsia etc, just a very painful muscle pain.

Thanks in advance! Xx

Im in the same boat and find that cold compresses help quite a bit and just sitting more straight/ using pregnancy ball as a chair when I'm working. But haven't found anything that fully gets rid of it :/

Thankyou, I haven't tried a cold compress yet so I'll give that a go 😊
