Constant pain in left upper back and left rib area!?

[IVFGotThis05]

Hi!

I have been having this pain for 4 weeks now... I am carrying twins so I keep putting the pain down to that but it's every day and night now! Midwife doesn't seem concerned.

I just wanted to know if anyone has had this? I expected my lower back to hurt as I already have back problems, but I didn't expect this.

Anyone?

I had excruciating pain in my upper right ribs, almost on my side. Doing anything, including a deep breath, would cause so much pain and my ribs felt bruised. This lasted around 2 or 3 weeks whilst I was around 33 weeks. I never injured myself that I'm aware of - although I do have an active and physical job - and also put it down to growing baby who likes to sit on my right hand side.
Am now 36 weeks and pain has subsided lots - hoping it means baby has dropped.
Never ended up telling my midwife about it but if you get answers, would love to know!

I had this from about 26 weeks both pregnancies. With my previous pregnancy it lasted until the end, I’m only 29 weeks now so can’t say if it will go away if not.

Hot water bottle really helps me, I find it feels like I desperately need to undo my bra but that makes no difference to the pain.

Ahh thanks for your replies! I'm only 22 weeks so feel like I'm in for a rough 16 weeks ahead. I use a hot water bottle on a night time to help me sleep, which works on and off. I can't even get through my working day at the minute as I have quite an active job. I've asked for a GP appointment today and I see my midwife again in 2 weeks so I'll just see what everyone suggests. I'm gonna guess babies like to be over to the left and it's just normal pregnancy/growing pains.
