I'm 22 weeks tomorrow & been getting terrible lower rib pain that won't go. I ended up being sent for a scan to check for a lung clot. The doc told me that months beforehand your insides are expanding to prepare u for pregnancy. I told him I thought it was my intercostal muscles hurting, but was becoming unbearable if I was standing for long periods of time.

I know what u mean, you never know if its pregnancy-related or not. This is my first pregnancy, so I'm still learning. When I googled my symptoms, it was coming back with gallstones. So thought I'd best double check :-)

You are probably right...just so hard knowing whether its normal pregnancy discomfort or something more serious!!

Probably your muscles stretching. Or organs just pushing into different places now that your bump is getting bigger. Pregnancy can be verrrry uncomfortable.
