I have on my right side. almost feel a like my vra was pushing very hard on my ribs. Turns out its the baby. I use little icey hot patches or Heating pad to help with the pain. I've had it for at least the past 15weeks. I am currently 9days away from delivery Good luck mama

Same here. Sleeping on the side is getting very uncomfortable.  Can't wait for this to be over with. I have 46 days to go

Try the heating pad or I use these muscle patches called salompas sold at Walmart or pharmacy in a little green box. They have been my savors with the rib pain as well as hip pain!

Have you been experiencing headaches or swelling at all? If yes, I would suggest visiting your midwife as this could be an early sign of pre-eclampsia (not meaning to scare you, but you might want to seek advice from a professional if you have other symptoms). If not, it is probably just where everything is expanding and baby is growing causing your muscles to stretch too. Hope you are feeling better.
