Question

I'm 29.5 weeks with my first kid. I get bad cramps under my right ribs and lower right side. Anyone else get these also? My dr laughed at me bc I said I didn't know if I were having contractions or not.

I had that for almost a month before I gave birth and during labor. Nurse said they are hot spot contractions and the epidural didn't even touch them! Had to get extra iv meds

I got that with my daughter and when I went in for a ultrasound the tech told me it was because she had her butt wedged up under my rib. It was painful! She insisted on pushing on my ribs pretty much from the time she was big enough to reach them until she was born 😑

I don't know if it's the same thing I get, but I get awful pains right under my ribs like under where my bra strap sits on my side. It's because my belly has grown and it's basically pulling on my ribs as if trying to rip them out. The only thing you can really do to help is use a heating pad. (Which my doctor said was totally safe) 
Good luck!
