Baby flipped head down at 27 weeks, but I'm 28+3 and the pain is back... I wonder if she has done another somersault, or whether this is just my uterus expanding? OUCH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2581477 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 08:05:40 +0000 Alba4 2581477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That stinks!</p> <p>I had pain in my ribs only in my left side withDS2. Sitting on a yoga ball helped. Baby ended up being 22 in long!! He was transverse for a bit too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2581463 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 07:59:51 +0000 ValentineMommy 2581463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 was like this - his little feet were in the right side of my ribs the entire pregnancy. I have a vivid memory of the moment during my csection when they pulled him out....I literally shouted "I can breathe again!" Lol </p> <p>Sorry, no advice...just commiseration. Hope you find some relief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2581383 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 23:02:19 +0000 jaguar 2581383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@elljay: Thanks love! I'm going to invest in a fitness ball to help me with my lean forwards etc - so that might help too! x </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2581359 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 21:29:09 +0000 elljay 2581359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No ideas, just major sympathy. I had insane burning rib pain from 27 weeks through the end of my pregnancy, and baby was head down the whole time. One thing that helped a little was using a squishy foam ball to put pressure on the spot that hurt. One the plus side, the pain went away the minute I gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580742 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 18:07:13 +0000 jaguar 2580742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine seems worse at the end of the day or while sitting, definitely. The burning pain is square and centre under my rib cage, and man, it's full on! </p> <p>Thanks for weighing in guys. Haven't had any symptoms of gall bladder but I will definitely keep an eye out.</p> <p>TURN, BABY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580684 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 10:09:07 +0000 Rocker2014 2580684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it just on one side, have your gallbladder checked. I had terrible, take your breath away type pain under my ribs on one side, and it turns out my gallbladder had stopped functioning. A low-fat diet really helped, and I was fine as soon as I gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580636 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 06:59:51 +0000 travellingbee 2580636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure mine was still breech then and I had tons of rib pain this time but it was still bad when he flipped. He separated my rib cage with his feet. It hurt until about a week after he was born and then I was back to normal. He was extremely long- almost 22" at birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580631 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 06:35:07 +0000 pachamama 2580631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar: I had this exact same starting at 25 weeks! It was also sort of numb. I've heard a few theories that it could be your gallbladder or ligament stretching. It was worse when sitting leading me to think it was a positional issue. Baby was head down and labor was fine.. It wasn't terrible though and went away as soon as I gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580499 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 16:27:07 +0000 jaguar 2580499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen a Chiro - might have to look into it! I've heard it's still normal to be breech now but if she stays this way.... Ouch!!!</p> <p>Thanks guys. It is definitely better after lying down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580470 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 15:00:01 +0000 jape14 2580470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same rib pain - DS was transverse until about 33 weeks. The only thing that helped was acupuncture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580462 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 14:19:35 +0000 tofuwad 2580462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to sit on a yoga ball as much as possible. Sometimes doing the cat-cow yoga position helped me. I hope you feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580402 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 07:54:00 +0000 Madison43 2580402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man. LO1 was breech until the end and I could barely sit down the rib pain was so bad. Laying down fully stretched out help and I also used to position an ice pack under a sports bra to try and numb it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580401 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 07:48:35 +0000 Pollywog 2580401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go see a chiropractor. They can help flip tgr baby into a more comfortable position. That was the only way I could get through pregnancy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580394 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 06:41:00 +0000 FannyMae 2580394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt like that for both my pregnancies, babies had their bodies positioned to dig into and stretch my rib cage. Couldn't do much other than rub sore spots :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-in-ribs#post-2580391 Sun, 03 Jul 2016 06:32:13 +0000 jaguar 2580391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 25+2 weeks and really struggling with pain in my ribs ... it's been bad for a little while but only on/off, but these last few days it is BURNING by the evenings &amp; hurts all the time.</p> <p>Baby girl has been breech for the past 6+ weeks now, so I'm wondering if it's her positioning that's doing it.. but anyone have any ideas for relief from it? </p>
