Currently 26w with DC2, with DC1 I suffered immensely with rib pain. It affected every part of my life. I couldn’t sit for any period of time at all and standing/lying only eased it slightly.
Sadly for me it seems to have started again and I’m wondering what’s normal and what’s not? I know rib pain can be normal with pregnancy but with my last pregnancy it was debilitating, I could go nowhere. I nearly passed out with the pain sitting in a restaurant. MW told me at the time it was because I’m short and baby had nowhere else to go. I can’t face another 14 weeks of this pain, it’s only started so I know it’s only going to get worse. It radiates round into my back, I’ve already taken paracetamol today for the pain. I don’t want to live on painkillers, especially not when pregnant
