im in agony with back pain/rib

[kayleigh188]

HI All

im 21 weeks pregnant and i cant even begin to describe the pain i have been in for the last week or so. i can only describe this pain as feeling like some one is crushing my ribs from the outside. at first i though my bra was to tight so i bought bigger back size but nothing changed i have now resorted to not even wearing a bra and the pain is still there, it feels like its my ribs in my back if you know what i mean

please tell me someone knows what this is and how to stop it not even paracetamol helps i dont think i can take 19 more weeks of this

Oh no rob pain is the worst, I was about 15 weeks and I managed to pull my ribs coughing and it’s the worst pain ever took just over a week for the pain to die down so I feel your pain, and no pain killers helped at all!!!

Try warm baths they helped me.

Give your midwife a call and talk through it. There may be something that you can do and even physio may be able to help get to the bottom of it.

I'm 21 weeks as well and deal with back/pelvic pain and leg pain constantly due to a previously broken pelvis and severe damage to my back. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy so really hope you can get to the bottom of this.

Pop in to the July mummies thread. It's busy but a wonderful source of support. Xx
