pain

I have this pain on the right side under my ribs. I would say its kind of on the side. It comes and goes, but it bothers me. I'm 19 weeks preggo and the baby is low and I feel her so I know its not her kicking that place...does anyone have an idea what it could be?

My doctor told me its not related to the baby because im too early to feel baby in my ribs. She told me to do warm compresses then cold ones. And it might be a muscle strain.

You probably just have gas :( I'm sorry I know the feeling! This is my third year in a row being pregnant and it doesn't get any better! Try stretching your arms over your head or laying on your left side to relive it.

Does Ur back hurt between Ur shoulder blades to? Ribs move and have to open up. Sometimes they slip out of place. I have 5 ribs out cause of hypermobility and pneumonia from last year. It causes sharp pain in my ribs and a dull sometimes really painful pain in between my shoulders blades. Slipped rib syndrome is common during pregnancy. Especially if Ur already flexible.
