ok so im 31wks and for about a month now ive been having some really bad pain on the left side of my girl place only when i go to sleep it starts to hurt and now last night both sides where hurting really bad. ive also been getting some sharp pains in my lower abdomen that lead or go towards my vagina....then last night i had the worst pain right under my boobs like in my ribs or something that hurt so bad i cant even stretch right or turn because i feel like im gonna cry and its been hurting all day now. ive been feeling very achy all day my back hurts really bad and i feel like im gonna throw up i did this morning but ive felt this way all day i feel so drowsy...what could this be what could be causing the pain under my boobs in my ribs or whatever??? i havent felt the baby move as much for the past few days either usually hes like poping out of my belly i could usually see it. and its very constent, but for the past couple of days its slowed down.

the pain on the side "down there" is probably a pinched nerve.  i got that w/ my last 2 pregnancies.  it kinda feels like a pulled groin muscle maybe?

the pain down the front...  if its a really sharp stabbing like pain, then that is probably your pubic bone separating making way for the baby's head to fit through.  your pubic bone is in 2 pieces and at the end of your pregnancy you can get pains when its separating...  i know it hurts like hell!!!

the pain in your upper ribs i've also had before but never got an explanation of what it was.  i got it during my 1st 2 pregnancies but not the last 2.  

i hope i helped some!

I'm agreeing with kennedydp5.  When was your last doc appt?  How was your blood pressure?  Not trying to scare you but the baby moving less, cramping, throwing up, & being drowsey can also be signs of something serious.  You should probably call your doctor just to double check and make sure it's not something more serious like preeclampsia.  But it is probably your body preparing for birth and spreading (which HURTS).  And babies will sometimes slow down in their movement because they just don't have the room to move around.  But it's better to be safe than sorry so I'd check with the doctor.

pinched nerves is what it sounds like to me, baby is getting in position and when they start headin down, it hurts..mine is on a nerve that hits "down there" and in my right leg that makes it hard for me to walk.

also you have the same thing going on as me..i have been super tired and have felt nauseus (cant spell that lol), but my dr says that it is just normal part of pregnancy towards the end..

I suggest you give your doctor a call ASAP and make an appointment just to be on the safe side. :)
