Back/Rib pain!!

[Sunkissed19]

HELP, omg it hurts tremendously....i can barely move..i dont even want to take in a breath! it feels like my ribs are being crushed in a vice and my back hurts really bad right below my shoulder blades like something is pulling down hard on the muscles....but it doesnt hurt in my lower back like id imagine it would with back labor. can this have anything to do with the pre-eclampsia? My doctors office isnt open today for me to ask, but i have an appointment in the morning. Has anyone had this happen before? what can i do (while on bedrest) to help it? it hurts sooo much!

I've had the same problems.  Pain in my back under my shoulder blade and pain under my right rib cage.  My doctor said the problems are normal.  She said the pain in my stomach is from my stomach muscles being stretched and the pain in my back is from all the weight I am carrying in front.  She said these complaints are typical.  My blood pressure and everything else has been normal.

I had no idea those pains could be cuased by Pre-E.  I hope your post did convince her to get checked.  I've never experienced Pre-E thank God but it's nice to know the symptoms just in case!!!!

Please update us when you can.  My response was intended to scare you because the pain "could" originate from pre-eclampsia so it is vital you were checked out as the risks for not doing so are extreme.

Ladies, if she truly had full-blown pre-eclampsia she will likely have needed an emergency delivery.  I hope that wasnt the case.

Hoping all is well since we haven't heard back from you.  Please update as soon as possible!!!

now i'm a little worried as you haven't been back on since you were waiting on the call back, lets hope you are in having that little bubba of yours.

I'm glad you're seeking medical attention. I've had pain similar but if you've had some symptoms of complications then I'm definitely glad that you are seeking help. PLEASE keep us posted.
