RIB PAIN POST C SECTION.

I am 10 weeks post c section, during pregnancy in my third trimester used to have rib pain under my left breast nd was told that the pain will go away after delivery. Well am still experiencing the same pain, it’s not there all the time but I figured that sitting up right triggers it. Any experience with the same issue and how did u deal with it….

Left side? Sounds like Pancreatitis. The pain can come and go. It can be debilitating. I'd pop to your GP. They can run tests to check your amalayse level to check pancreas. If it's higher up then could be cardiac being on the left side x

I had right rib pain during pregnancy (likely because of bub’s head up there she was breech). After my c section I had quite a lot of pain at the bottom of my left rib… it was in fact not my rib but instead the ab muscle that joins at the rib. I used to feel it throbbing so painfully mostly when I was lying down on my back. It eventually went away, maybe 9 weeks postpartum

I had rib pain under my left breast last year during my pregnancy that was very bothersome and I had it for a few months after my c section. I am pregnant again now and having similar pain under my left breast. Wearing a bra sucks.

@Shannon I was the same. Bub was breech and had his head jammed under my ribs (for pretty much the whole pregnancy), he was a struggle to un-jam during the section! But the pain during pregnancy and post partum was significant and it took a long time to go.
