Aching badly under ribs, any ideas?

[knackered76]

I'm only 9+5 although you'd be forgiven for thinking I was at least 4 months the size I am (I blame the fact it's my third!). While watching my DD gymnastics and reading to DS I began to get real aches under my ribs at the top of my increasing large belly. They have eased slightly now but were really quite painful for at least 20 mins. They didn't come in waves or turn into cramping type pains but just curious if others have suffered this or any ideas what it could be.

I have a private scan on Friday so don't feel the need to rush anywhere to get it checked out as I wouldn't get in before then anyway!

could it be that your bra is too tight? i had some pains in my ribs and shoulder the other day and then realised that my boobs have really grown over the last few months. so got myself measure in M and S and now have v comfy new bras.

i wouldn't worry too much xx

My ribs have splayed out something shocking, I've gone from a 32 inch bra to a 38 by only 24wks pregnant or so, it isn't fat either. Perhaps this is how your body is adapting this time and baby is up high? just a thought
