Rib Pain

[Veritas]

Hi All,

Does anyone happen to have a magical cure for rib pain during the third trimester????

I know it is part and parcel of pregnancy and bubba growing, but it is starting to get to be a nuisance, and stretching, etc that I do doesn't seem to help a great deal!!

Sorry, I dont have a cure but I am so glad that i saw your post. I am just over 20 weeks and I woke up yesterday feeling like one of my ribs is REALLY bruised! I thought I slept on it funny, but then I thought I must have had a really rough sleep to have bruised it! After reading your post though I am guessing that it is normal??? DOnt remember happening in my other pregnancies though.....

No cure as babies love to swing on them !
Try to keep rested as much as possible & remember when sitting or laying to keep to your left side ! Helps to keep bubs in the right position for birth.

The only thing i have found helps the rib pain is laying back in the chair or sitting up straight so there is more room and less pressure on the ribs hope this helps:fingerscrossed:

When I asked my midwife about it, she told me I needed to give birth :D
