severe rib pain

I'm 34w today 4/25/14 & on Wed while eating dinner I thought I felt Elsie's foot in my rib. I gently pushed a few time and felt relief but within a minute I sneezed 3 times and started having severe rib pain. It's so sore that even the band on my maternity pants hurts to sit in the spot where I'm having the pain.  I see my Dr after work but am wondering if anyone else on here has had any issues with something similar?  Breathing, coughing and sneezing are horrible to do! Not so great with allergy season among us right now...

Same here. I had the same issue with my first the bigger she got and now my 2nd (same side) nearing the end. The just shove their little feet in my rib cage and my ribs just ended up bruised. They were bothering me weeks after delivery with my first so assuming it'll be the same this go around. But yes, sitting, sneezing, it all makes it ache. It's probably just baby's constant pushing and kicking on them. :/ it hurts but it'll be over soon:) good luck!!
