Pain in right shoulder and ribs

I’m 21 weeks pregnant and for the last few days I’ve had a strange pain in my right shoulder and lower ribs.

It’s painful to breathe in but it subsides after a short while.

Anyone have any idea about what it could be?

Maybe speak to 111 about the pain on breathing in unless your GP is open and you can get an appointment. Could be gall bladder I guess, musculoskeletal, could be other things like a PE….whatever I’d get it checked out !

Thanks @Lottelenya. I’ll try see if I can get an appointment somewhere. I would usually just ignore it but with it happening for a few days on and off, I want to be sure there is nothing wrong.

I’ve just seen I can contact the maternity assessment unit so I am going to give them a call.

This sounds like a gallbladder issue 😕

Definitely speak to a Dr.

I'm sorry if it is as I had the same in pregnancy and it wasn't nice at all.

@Girliefriendlikespuppies thanks.

I’ve got an appointment for later today so hoping that will give me some answers.
