Rib Pain

I’m 33 weeks pregnant today & I get SUCH bad rib pain when I try to lay down to sleep on either side. Is this normal!? It feels like someone has punched me in my ribs and I haven’t been able to sleep in 2 nights :((

I’m 30 weeks and also experiencing the same thing! The only way it doesn’t hurt is sleeping on my back which we can’t do so struggling to fall asleep at night 😫

Apparently, pain in the ribs is normal in the third trimester, as the ribcage expands to make space. There are some exercises that can help. Warm baths and compresses can also be helpful. Not too hot, though. Try speaking to your midwife if nothing helps x
