Painful ribs on the left side

1 reply

lizy-lies
I'm now 25+3 weeks pregnant and have had pain in my left ribs for over a week and a half. The weird thing is that it mainly starts up in the evening, and by the time I get into bed, it hurts so much that I can't sleep. It doesn't matter if I'm lying down or sitting—the pain stays. I have an appointment with my midwife next week, so I'm curious what she'll say. Anyone else have experience with this in the meantime??

    I'm now 28+2 weeks and have been experiencing this for a few weeks already. I think it's because everything is being pushed upward to make room for the baby.
    I mostly feel it after eating, and then I can't lie down or sit anymore.
