Rib pain

I keep getting a pain in my ribs all the time but I don’t know whether it’s baby kicking me in the rib or something else, I’m 29 weeks, has or does anybody else experience this?

Probably getting kicked in the ribs. My baby did it all the time.

Please make sure you mention rib pain to your midwife if it becomes a daily thing. My midwife told me it could be part of pre eclampsia BUT it’s not common. If it’s just rib pain and no other symptoms then it’s probably just baby X

I’m 32 weeks and have had rib pain at least a few times a week since I was around 19 weeks. When I told the doctor during my symptoms check his reply was “ok good. That’s normal” it’s just everything being squished up into your ribs and running out of room to expand.
My pain is on my right side which is where my uterus sits higher So it makes sense.

Its the worst!!!! I found that eating fiber helps. Probably tmi but going to the bathroom and stretching helps wonders. I started applying cold packs and it feels a ted better
