Is there anything that can help ease rib pain in the third tri? As of last week I was able to gently push LO to another position but this week he is firm about hanging out under his mama's ribs 
I have a short torso and I'm not sure he has anywhere else to go anymore!

Ugh, I feel your pain. My rib pain also started last week at 34 weeks. Pillows and getting up slowly help a little.

Sorry! I had that starting mid 2nd trimester I think and she never moved. She just loved jabbing her feet into my ribs. Her foot still likes to randomly jab now!

I'm short torso'd too, and I had terrible rib pain, so I feel your pain! Ugh! I found that laying down on the opposite side of the pain helped a little. Note that I say a little, because the only thing that really helped was getting her out of me!

I have a short torso too and experienced that pain for months! Her butt was literally jammed up the ribs! Ugh... sorry I don't have much advice - just able to commiserate.
The only thing that *slightly* helped was sitting leaning back arched over pillows. -
The two things that help me the most are prenatal massages with my doula and my chiropractor adjustments. I usually have a massage the day before my chiropractor appointment and I will feel SO much better for about 10-14 days...even when she insists on staying up in my ribs ALL day long...she won't budge no matter how much I try to poke her out of there.

i feel the best when standing up. Of course, this is the worst for my swollen feet. But my ribs KILL if i have to sit up in a chair (like at the dining room table or a restaurant or at work). I don't have a short torso either. But I think baby girl is rather... robust... in size. arching my back helps temporarily. I actually turned the lumbar support way up in my car so it wouldn't hurt so much when i'm driving.
