Pain at top of stomach???

There is this sharp pain at the top of my stomach that comes and goes. Is this normal....I went to the doctor this morning and the doctor said the heartbeat was really fast...he said it seemed like the baby was stirred up and asked if I had had any caffiene. I hadn't and said for me to keep an eye on the baby's movements to make sure the baby kept moving because her heartbeat was so high. What is this pain at the top of my stomach? I forgot to ask him...should I be worried?

I had the same thing, and I asked my DR and he said that it was something with my uterus pushing up on my ribs.. but it's normal!

i have that same pain!!! it makes me feel like i cant bend over!like there is a block! but i didnt think my belly even went up that high yet! im going to the doctor today so im going to ask him .. just cause ill be there.. haha

I get a pain at the top of my tummy right below my ribs. But it's because my baby is breech and that where the baby's head had been for the past like 8 weeks or so, and since the head is so hard it has bruised my uterus from stretching out and whatnot. My doc said it's pretty normal with a breech baby... and it hurts... right now lol but I'm pretty use to it.

my baby isn't breech...we just had an ultra sound 3 weeks ago and he said the baby was head down and really low....I guess it is just it is just my uterus pushing up on my ribs like Shanyn.

I am due on Dec. 11th and I have that pain a lot myself. Mine tends to be when the baby moves a lot.

i was worried about preeclampsia because i am always worried about everything. i kept getting a pain on my left side right below my ribs. i looked up signs of preeclampsia and it was pain on the right side that is associated with that. i think it was his feet in my ribs or something. i would call and ask the dr about the pain and see what he says. maybe he could fit you in. don't worry yourself into a panic about it though.

i have that too!! in fact i just had it really bad yesterday. what it feels like for me is as if my diaphragm (right below your sternum) is really bruised. and all your other organs around them are bruised too. kinda like someone just sucker punched you in the stomach REALLY hard. my baby is breech too, so maybe that could be it. last time this happened was right before my tummy grew a bunch so im thinking maybe he's just having a little growth spurt so its stretching and bruised. but i have LOW blood pressure and no protein in my urine so i dont have pre-eclampsia, so dont worry that this pain equals that. i know i dont have it, but i SURE do have the pain. oh yeah, and i tried all kinds of heartburn stuff incase it was some kind of weird indigestion and heartburn, and none of them worked. so im just going with stretching cuz the baby kicks a bunch and doesnt seem to be slowing down plus i have a fetal heart rate monitor and his heart rate hasnt changed either. if anyone finds out exactly what it is, let me know!!

I just had this, this morning! Ugh!

had same pain since trimester docs say it normal enough 2 moths pregnant i was beat up by two local officers for no reason

i have this god aweful pain (not heartburn) under my chest plate in the top of my stomach. it feels like im pulling a nerve or like something is tearing. when i pick up things like a book , reach to get something or bend over...iam a high risk pregnacy n take progesterone shots once a week till im 36wks!i called the nurse yesterday and she said that i could have tore something but didnt know so to take some tylanol, put a heat pad on it and lay down (which by the way about killed me! it hurt worse!). she said if it didnt go away then go to the er. here it is 24 hour later n i still feel the same...but i dont know if i should worry or see if it goes away........

Ive had that pain from the very beginning. I am very small framed and my dr told me that its the muscle under ur chest stretching.The dr said Since I am a small framed girl I am gonna feel everything and I sure do.. My baby is due June 22nd but I am high risk and right now the baby is VERY LOW and pressing on my cervix. So I have to get checked now every 1-2 weeks...

I am just about 35 weeks and have had this pain I am also worried about pre-eclampsia but i have had high protein in my urine the last month or more and thought I was the only one having they are making me extremely nervous and am going to make an appointment to see my ob right away because it gets so bad sometimes i can't move....I was wondering if anyone else has had the other problems that go along with pre-eclampisa and the tight top of stomach
