Question about back and rib pain!?

Question

I am in my 16th week of pregnancy and over the last few days I've started having back pain that goes around to my ribs. It alternates from low back to like right below my shoulder blades and hurts so bad that it feels hard to breathe. I couldn't seem to ease the pain and was actually in tears for awhile. I have a history of back pain (bulged discs and drying of a disc or two) but this was different. I'm sure it's because of stretching and growing and such but I just wondered if anyone else had this and what you did to ease it!?! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I am afraid I can't be much help!  I had the same pain, and I figured it was heartburn radiating into my back, but nothing helped.  It was awful.
