34 weeks; Rib Pain

Anyone get pains in their ribs? I am 34 weeks pregnant. I don’t think he’s stuck in there, as I don’t think that’s a thing? He doesn’t react when I push around on my ribs either, so I think he’s okay. But it does just hurt on one set of ribs. I tried to lay down and massage it out, which does relieve some pain, but I can’t lay down all day long! Any advice/remedies? Help😩

I’m 34 weeks as well and my rib pain is bad as well. I can’t even wear a bra anymore. When I have time ill do a heating pad on the top of my ribs for a few and then some ice in the same spot after 😬😬😬 I feel your pain!

Okay maybe I’ll try that!! Thanks for the advice!

I'm 38 weeks and hes still getting in my ribs, sitting on the gym ball will bounce him down pretty quick :) xz

I’m 34 weeks and I am in a lot of pain. My ribs feel like they’re being crushed and they burn. I’m also having bad nerve pain in my sacroiliac area. She can’t come soon enough. Miserable over here.

I've had terrible rib pain for ages - I found kneeling leaning on an exercise ball can help, or getting a back massage while lying on my side can really help (I got my hubby to do it!) I just had a growth scan at 39 weeks and turns out baby is breech, which could explain the rib pain! (Midwife thought she was head down, but turns out what she thought was a head was a bony bum!) So may be worth asking midwife to do an extra check!
