Painful ribs/diaphragm

[kay1980]

I'm 28 weeks and I've got quite sore ribs and it kills when I sneeze. Has anyone had this?

Yes I did! It's painful isn't it? I was told by my doctor that it's normal, and is due to your body making room for the baby. Your ribs expand apparently!

My ribs are killing me!!!! I'm 30 weeks, and for about the past 2 weeks it feels like my ribs are really being pulled apart like a chicken bone.

I find that sometimes my posture makes it worse/better, depending on how I'm sitting. Driving is especially sore, as I'm sitting erect.

This is my 1st pregnancy, so I'm not sure how long this pain lasts for, it might last till the end

I'm 30 weeks and exactly the same - only sitting forward on my bouncy ball seems to relieve it!
Baby does seem to be very high up though, feel almost all of the kicks close to my ribs. When will it drop I wonder - I think it's a while off.

Yup - exactly the same. I think I cracked a rib a few years ago and it absolutely kills when I get to this stage in pregnancy (I'm 31 weeks now) - was the same with DD. Finding it really hard to find a comfortable position to sleep in at night
