Crushing rib feeling?

Question

I am 32 weeks and very uncomfortable. Does anyone elses ribs feel like someone is sitting on them? The muscules under my breast are so stretched it feels as though I have a cinder block sitting just under them. Any suggestions on helping with my comfort issues?

Answer 1

try changing positions. lay on a different side. do the cat stretch. other than that the baby is just crowded in there. imagine how they feel, lol.  I had the 3d ultra sound the other day (33 weeks) and her foot was in her face. good luck and congrats

Answer 2

Sorry, there is NOTHING you can do about this pain.  Your baby is strecthing you out. Am 36.5 wks and have had this feeling for months.  It'll be over as soon as you have the baby.  Good Luck

i am 31 weeks and this has been an issue of mine for a week or two as well.. The only thing that somewhat helps me is i very gently kind of slowly massage and try to push the baby down.. it releives some pressure.. and sometimes the baby will move and change positions.. but i think i suffer from it so bad because i have bad posture and slouch a lot..

good luck to you!! :) its funny cause as uncomfortable is this feeling is, it is still one of the greatest things on this planet!

The one thing that gets me is that the baby kicks me in the side and i am very ticklish and jumpy when i get poked in the side, and its funny that i have the same reaction when the baby jabs me from the inside too!!

GOOD Luck

i have exactly the same feeling. i sit on a gym ball in the evenings as this doesnt cause me to be crunched over so much. it gets worse some days and better others!
