Such bad rib pain (right side)

Currently 27+3
I have had rib pain in my right side since about 20 weeks and it's getting worse and worse. I can barely sit up by the end of the day sometimes , it is just so painful. dull ache and also sharp pains. I can't get comfy with it and it can wake me in the night.

I mentioned to my midwife about 3 weeks ago and she suggests physio . I said I was worried about possible sign of pre-eclampsia but she said you can't have that before 28 weeks and my BP is always really good.

anyone experience this ? Any tips to coping ...

Could be costochondritis.

Does it ever ease? I feel for you although I unfortunately have no advice. I get dull aches in my right rib often although not all the time. I think for me it’s the baby putting pressure there. I had it with my first as well.

@ThomasinaLivesHere yes it can completely go with no sign then come back with vengeance throughout the day!
