Has Anyone Else Been Getting A Stabbing Stich Pain In their Ribs!? It's Been Going On For The Past 5 Days And It's…

Yes!!! I was going to post the same question! I have to stop what I'm doing completely and sit down til it goes. Mines exactly the same! Little mans still very active and it goes after about 10/15mins. What is it!!??? X

I'm the same but I can't even sit down, I have to lay down!! My mum keeps saying it could have something to do with posture but it's so painful some times @cwev!! Glad I'm not the only one!

@cwev, I found this: "Rib pain can range from mild to extremely sore and tender ribs and is usually felt on the right side, just below the breasts. Mainly occurring in the third trimester, it can be more painful when sitting. Rib pain is caused from the uterus pressing into the abdomen, squashing your ribs, as well as baby kicking or punching the area. The only real ways to help here are to make yourself as comfortable as possible by wearing lose fitting clothes and supporting yourself with cushions when lying down. The pain will likely subside when baby drops (into your pelvic cavity) in preparation for birth. Here is a really effective exercise for temporary relief. Stand facing a wall. With your feet 40cms from the wall, cross your arms in front of your face. Then lean your crossed arms on the wall sliding them up the wall above your head and stretching yourself up as far as possible. Hold the position for as long as comfortable. This lifts the diaphragm and rib cage up off the uterus"

Oooh that's brill!! I'll give it a go next time!! Thankyou!!! X
