Hi ladies !!!! It's been a minute since I was last here !
This pregnancy has kicked my ass emotionally and physically.. creating mini humans isn't it easy is it?!
Hope you're all well ? This third trimester has brought along with it so many struggles and excitement but I was wondering is anyone else having excruciating rib pain to the point you struggle to lay or sit at night ? It radiates round to my back and now it's hard to breath.
I never had this with my first and I've been into triage a few times and mentioned it every time to which without even checking they have said it's probably ligament pain or broken ribs but either way I was advised codeine and to get on with It
I refused codeine as I hate it and have took it once this pregnancy !
The pain is beyond bad it's stopping me walking straight sit down or lay down paracetamol doesn't touch it and now even swallowing will make them ache like hell !

Anyone else ? And any advice
 
Hi Thea - I'm in a similar situation to you, I'm 5 weeks behind you but have been having rib pain which is getting progressively worse. I can't sit for more than 5-10 mins & it can be uncomfortable laying down to. I find sitting on a birthing ball helps a little bit and yoga helps loads. Hope you find something to help you soon.
