Unfortunately as far as I know they will not do anything. My nursing professor while pregnant with her second her baby broke her ribs. They gave her Tylenol and sent her home. However this was a few years ago maybe they’ve added new protocols

Hey! So two things!
1. I broke my rib and the doctors can’t do anything about it
2. I have a weird numbing pain on my right side right under my rib to! I was sure it had to be my baby’s foot or something but doctor said it something’s is a hormone change but I still think it’s baby with her foot under my rib
