It could be rib flair, i had it with my first and again with my second. Theres nothing you can really do to ease it i just take paracetamol and hope it eases.

I'm 35 weeks and My baby is ALWAYS in my ribs as well I find it helps to lay down on the opposite side of the pain or have a freeze to make him move around ! But pretty much everything is uncomfortable now a days !

Get a nice gel-filled ice pack. They sell them at Bed Bath and Beyond. Works wonders. Put it in the freezer and two hours later you can use it, about 20 minutes or so. Life saver!

Oh my goodness! I feel ya! I'll be 33 weeks on Tuesday and my ribs are burning with pain! They're super sensitive and feel bruised. Yesterday, i had a hoodie on that wasn't tight at all (only had a bra on underneath) and it gently brushed against my ribs and i wanted to cry. I told my doctor about it and she said it was probably because of how small i was, but she ran a bunch of tests and did an ultrasound on my gallbladder anyways. Everything came back normal..but i'm still in pain..the closest to relief i've found was just placing a cool pillow across my belly/ribs and resting my arms on it for slight pressure. It seems to work for me and a friend who's also pregnant.

I have my lil one in my ribs all the time and good lord does it hurt, i never knew how bad baby feet could hurt you lol. But i just try to push her down (dont really work) but idk what else to do she wont budge and is just running out of room... im also 33 weeks. Maybe talk to ur dr about ur discomfort and she may talk about induction if your open to it

I had extream rib pain, couldn't breath or eat or sit comfortably. I thought my ribs would snap. I stood and rocked for about an hour then baby did a big gross move and I had almighty wind, like wow wind. Sorry tmi but after that I felt so much better. Didnt even slightly feel like trapped wind, it felt like baby was pushing on my ribs. Might not be the same for you but thought I would share

Well I use a cold towel to make my baby move around when he is stuck in my ribs. It works
