I have looked this up on the internet and have found many things on right side rib pain, but it is under the rib or under the breast. Mine is on my side and it feels like someone has taken a knife or other sharp instrument of torture and shoved it in to my rib. Right in the bone, it only last for a few seconds, and comes and goes but it is not comfortable when it happens, to put it mildly. This is my 4th baby and I am 20 weeks along. I have never felt this with any of my other pregnancys. Just wondering if anyone else has had this or heard of this, would love to hear about it. I have an appointment with my doctor in sept. and I will ask about it then, but I would like to know it this is something I should be concerned about and if I should see my doc sooner. Any info or help would be appreciated. Thank you all in advanced. Good luck to all of you.
Gallstones are more common in pregnancy and present as sharp stabbing pain in the right upper quadrant, usually occurs after a fatty meal.
You would need an ultrasound to diagnose this.
Initial treatment is to change your diet - eating only non-fat meals.
You may want to look up "gallbladder disease" on the internet and see if your symptoms are similar.
