Rib pain

My PT said to be sure to practice breathing to help with that pain

You tried any gentle yoga stretches that can help release some of the tight spots around the ribs & upper back? Been helping me a lot when tension gets overwhelming. Downward dog yoga app has a prenatal option that helps a lot

I have the same pain on my left side. When bringing that up to my OB he just told me baby has her head there that’s why I have pain. So I can’t really do much 😫

Heat and cold therapy. And rest.

Are you wearing an underwire because that made me quit bras for the summer. Currently looking for larger size sports bras or looking in some maternity bras but I don't know how big the girls are going to get

I switched the nursing type sports bras as soon as I started to get uncomfortable in mine 😅 I got some affordable ones on Amazon that come in a pack, not the most flattering so I wear a normal bra depending on what I’m wearing but I also got the momcozy in the same style and really liked it cause no underwire. I did get them with a little room (hopefully enough) for when my milk comes in after baby gets here.

My bra comes off as soon as the work day is done. And I haven't even been wearing underwire.

I haven’t but I’ll definitely download that app and give it a try! I’ll literally try ANYTHING it’s so brutal!

UGH my baby has his head there too, I figured that was why this side hurts but the other side doesn’t. I wish he would go head down like his brother!

I’ve been curious about the momcozy ones! I’ve heard good things, would you recommend them? The other ones Ive looked at are kindred bravely but they’re kinda pricey and I don’t know what size I’ll need once the babies come lol

I'm 28 weeks but fundal height measuring around 32 weeks. Baby is in 90th percentile. My doctor said the rib pain is normal, but I feel the same way... it's HORRIBLE. I would invest in comfy nursing bras with no wires.

I never wear bras with underwires while pregnant. But even tight sports bras hurt. I wear a loose thin bralette type of bra.

I mostly avoid bras but I bought the bodily one and I’m obsessed. It’s like silk. It’s so comfy. The rib pain is the worst.

ooooh good to know this is actually a brand I haven’t heard of yet!! I was desperate and got some crappy nursing bras from Walmart this weekend. They are NOT flattering, my girls look very sad in them LOL I’ll def be ordering something else! Do the Bodily ones give you some support without being uncomfortable?

These are the ones I’m obsessed with! They’re not suuuper supportive. I’m not a fan of bras. But they’re so comfy and at least I’m wearing something. My man prefers it to me going everywhere braless 😂

thank you so much, I’ll definitely give these a try! If I could go everywhere braless, I 100% would 😅 I hate bras too!

Ugh yes I have rib/chest pain even without a bra on because my baby is big and breech. It’s so uncomfortable! I will try some of the yoga things people suggested
