Achy ribs...

[Piglet's Mama]

...anyone else? My ribs have really started to get sore the last couple of days - baby is head down but don't know if it is my expanding uterus or stretching or the extra weight...? Any ideas? x

Probably the lack of space for all your bits... I feel your pain! x

my ribs ache but thats due to little feet poking in them. rest as much as you can hun. xxx

 

[erimela]

sympathise with the feeling. It felt like my upper abdomen was bruised! It could be a mixture of things (so the GP and midwife have informed me) or a sum of all; baby kicking as its head down so feet kicking ribs, uterus expanding putting pressure on organs and ribs as a result. My favourite saying of today - the joy of being pregnant.

Hope it passes soon for you!

Eurgh, Fran spent all day yesterday tickling my ribs with her foot the little darlin... Felt like she was tryin to push them out the way ha ha... Hurt like hell!! Damn OH havin long legs! She's takin after him lol xx

I would of thought it would be because of the baby booting you in them lol. I haven't even been kicked in the ribs... not that i want to lol. xxx

God this hurts... I feel your pain too. Especially if I try and take a deep breath sometimes! If I go to slouch sometimes too I just physically can't coz I can feel bump has lodged something there! Xxx

I remember that! Was horrible! I used to kneel on the floor and stretch over the bed really helped! X

they say as your baby gets bigger your organs shift a bit to make room and your ribcage expands a bit . sooo uncomfortable though

 

[HeppiBean]

It's almost as though she's found a comfy spot in my rib cage where her feet are nice and snug and she doesn't want to move them lol It's a freaky thought considering my uterus doesn't even reach up that high yet lol can't even begin to imagine what she's going to be like later on when she's bigger and running out of space... I'm going to be moaning an awful lot I think he he he xx

I was just noticing today that I was getting kicks under my ribs on the right. Its odd cos up until now all movement been on or below belly button! I too thought uterus too low to feel there but obviously not. Try some gentle stretches and twists, take time out in day to concentrate on some deep breathing techniques to open up your chest....

I remember that rib pain when I was about your stage. It was mostly on my right side and I got stretchmarks exactly where the pains were. Since my bump has dropped though I hardly have any discomfort at all.

This is where my kicks are now too Tracey - right under my right ribs, like pokes and prods but at the mo I think there is a foot sat in my rib!

I still think they are looping the loop everyday cause in the day there are kicks in my ribs but come night time it's all across my tummy again!

Oh no Flopsy - I don't want to get any stretch marks, I've avoided them so far x
