Pains.

I have to ask other moms to be's out there this..
Im 31 weeks pregnant today, and sense I was 29 weeks, I have had horrible pain in my right rib cage...
It will put me into tears.. Also some pain in the center of my ribs... Am I the only one that has this?
If you have had it.. did you do anything to cure it..
Im desperite.. it hurts so bad. But I really don't want to take any kind of pain killer.. so please don't tell me that..

Tylenol. Otherwise you'll just have to deal with. The bigger your baby gets, the worse it will be.

most likely you have popped a rib out of place, it happens when the baby is taking up too much room in your rib cage, you can go to the chiropractor but the baby may just pop it back out again...take some tylenol and just rest...

what kind of pain is it?


i have this horrible ache in my ribs and back when i sit down without enough back support....if its like that then tylenol worksa little....and sitting with a pillow or laying down every once in a while helps....also my doctor said something about an abdominal girdle...idk

if this doesnt help sorry =(

i will def try tylenol, i just didn't want any actual pain killers..

is it normal for it to hurt when you breathe? at times.. or when you lay on it?

really? how long have you had them? i've been hurting like this since about 22 weeks and the only thing that really truely helps is just lieing down...but as soon as i sit back up it hurts again

I found out, it may be severally fractured ribs, or displaced rips, and even gallstones. But because it hurts when I breathe I have been told its probably several fractured ribs, and if you touch my rib cage it will make me screen.
This little boy inside me though, is worth it. All the pain.. will only make sense when I meet my son.
Even though I can barely move. heh.
I was told that probably after I have him, I will have to have a back brace around me, because of the severity of the damage to my ribs... the fact that when I breathe it feels like I have daggers in me, means they could be broke, or really cracked bad.
Sadly, he still kicks me there, and its only making them worse. Possibly surgery may happen after I have them. =[

I dont know exactly when they started but I was going to night school, I think they started in February& the only time it would hurt was when I was sitting in the computer chairs. NOw the bigger I get the more it hurts and I have to be lying down on a flat hard surfac like the floor for them to stop hurting. I think Im gunna pop soon though because Im having contractions.

Isn't it amazing what women go through to have babies? I mean, we have to deal with all of these aches and pains that we can't really get rid of (tylenol only helps a LITTLE) and we're so happy that we're having babies that it tends to drown the pain out. I'm practically bedridden because I can't stand/walk long at all. The pressure on my diaphragm is too much for me to deal with, and it leads to hot flashes, dizziness and my having to basically sit down in the middle of the aisle in the grocery store because I can't stand for another second. But regardless of it all, I just focus on the amazing miracle I'm growing inside my body and it makes it all worth it.
Half the men I know of couldn't deal with this, ever. That's what I think makes women so unique and special...
Sorry, I've just been thinking about this a lot lately.

Don't be sorry. You are absolutely right.
Men can't even ask for directions.. how could they handle a baby inside them.. Heh.
