Ache under right rib

I'm 34+5 and I've started getting an uncomfortable ache under the bottom of my right ribs. It's not severe but definitely achey and uncomfortable and feels like a muscle I need to give a good stretch!

Has anyone else had this? Is it just normal pregnancy ache? It just feels so specific in one spot.

I had it in my last pregnancy too but was always told it would be baby kicking my ribs though I would also be told at the same appointment babies feet/limbs were elsewhere and I couldn't feel kicks in that area. This time is the same but my baby is even lower this time, I can't feel her at all at the top of my bump and definitely can't feel her kicking my ribs. It can't be my gallbladder as I had that removed last year. I've got some heartburn/indigestion but that's different and in the upper middle of my chest and throat

I would speak to your midwife because intense heartburn and pain on the right side can be linked to preeclampsia. More than likely isn’t, but definitely best to double check! X

Ive been getting pain in left side under my boob but its only started since I started getting heart palpations and only when I sleep on that side at night which is only side other than my back that baby let's me lay on. But as some one else has said it can be sign of pre eclampsia so definitely call midwife.

Tilted uterus

Has having a tilted uterus caused anyone any issues?

And has it caused anyone fertility/maintaining a pregnancy issues.

Induction.

Was supposed to get my induction date before 40 weeks they’ve told me today it’s 3 days after my due date. Honestly so fed up, is there really any point I may aswell just go into labour naturally! Really expected it to be a day this week, just feel it’s pointless now

Triage or not?

37+5 today and I've had a persistent headache since yesterday. It's not too bad when I'm upright but if I bend over/sneeze/cough I get a sharp pain across the left side of my head. Obviously the main concern is preeclampsia but I've been checking my blood pressure throughout the day and it's normal. I also seen my midwife last week and had no protein in my urine.

I feel silly ringing triage because I wouldn't say the headache is severe but at the same time it hasn't gone away with paracetamol and has lasted around 24 hours now. I've had heartburn/reflux the last couple of days and I'm getting random pains across my abdomen which aren't contractions as they're not increasing in intensity or frequency.

Any advice please?
