Upper Rib Pain?

I am having really bad rib pain on my left side right under my breast. I told my doctor and she said it could be from my underwire in my bra or the expansion of my ribs for organs and baby but I went braless today and still had the pain. It hurts worst at night. Does anyone else have this problem and have any tips for me.. cant sleep?

Thank you for the posts. I will try the heating pad and see if that helps!

That was common with my last two pregnancies, from seven months to the end. I think both of my girls shoved their foot in my ribs and just kept it there. It was my left side as well. My torso just wasn't long enough for them to stretch out. :)

I had that same pain and it was because my daughter wanted to stick her little head right under there which cause it to bruise...a heating pad or warm rag will help with the pain :)
