Not pre eclampsia , had monitoring for that and blood tests due to other symptoms but wow the rib pain!!

How to ease it? Don't think it's his feet there as I can feel them kicking just above my belly button

Ouch ouch ouch please tell me it won't get worse than this!! So uncomfortable to sit up but sick of laying down as I can't lay on my back and my hips hurt😅

I ended up starting my maternity leave because of the rib pain. I have never felt anything like it before...doctors referred me to physio who suggested sitting on yoga ball! I'm sorry I cannot help but know exactly how you feel...keep going! You can do it!

Currently 36 weeks and rib pain has recently started, baby is breech so I think when I lie down her head sticks in my ribs!

Currently trying to ease it with hot water bottle and sitting on my pregnancy ball helps so does walking as I think baby sinks down out of ribs. Apparently around 32 weeks is when the ribcage massively expands so guessing this is why too.

Also taking painkillers and trying to prop myself up for sleep. I feel your pain it's horrible didn't have it with my previous pregnancy!

I'm stressing about going back to work on the 2nd now. Sitting down all day is going to be a killer..wondering if I should start my mat leave early too😖
