Chest/Rib Pain In Early Pregnancy

[Jess74]

Hi, I am nearlly 11 weeks pregnant with my forth child. I am suffering from 24 hour nausea, extremely tierd to the point that I can't even drive my son to school some mornings as I feel like I will collapse at the wheel. I have been getting this pain under my left rib. It is very uncomfortable at times. It is very hard to describe but feels like something has been stuffed in there. I have had on and off chest pain and find it hard to breath at times. To top it off I have had extreme head pain on the left hand side also affecting my mouth. Like I said this is my forth child and I have experienced nothing like this before Was wondering if anyone else had experienced anything like this and if they could offer me some insight as to weather this is normal. I do have a doctors appointment this week but would like to hear from anyone that may have been through this.

I had the same left rib pain you describe throughout my pregnancy. The doctor said I'd probably pulled a muscle or something but it made no sense as it lasted for so long. I slept with my left arm over my head for nearly the whole pregnancy (it seemed to relieve the pressure). I still don't know what it was so can't help you with that but I ended up with a healthy baby at the end and a natural VB if that mkes you feel any better. I also had severe tiredness for the first 16 weeks or so and was off my food for about that time as well. I hope you start feeling back to normal soon. Sorry I wasn't much help.

Also I had a cyst in my left ovary that burst in early pregnancy so I don't know if that had anything to do with it?
