Horrible pain... somebody plz help!!!?

Question

i am 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant. i have had the most horrible pain in the upper part of my ribs for the longest. it started two days ago and it was on my left side right where my bra line ends. i thought it was just my bra getting tighter but now the pain has spread accross the whole upper part of my ribs. it hurts to move or breath deeply. i've tried tylonal, a warm bath and bed rest. nothing helps. a doctor has already told me that i am a high risk for toxemia. is this pain in my ribs a sign of it getting worse???

somebody plz help. i've been able to handle whatever this baby has thrown at me so far but this is something i really can't handle anymore.

Answer 1

Call your doctor or get to the emergency room.  Let them know what is going on.  That doesn't sound right that it is spreading all across your chest.  

Answer 2

better go to your doc and have a thourough examination done

Answer 3

The same thing happened to me and it was because the baby had turned upside down to get into the birthing position and was jabbing her foot into my ribs.  I would imagine that is what it is.  I really don't know what you can do to stop it.  I would call the doctor and see what they suggest.

Answer 4

Pain like that at 37 weeks is perfectly normal. It will ease when the baby starts dropping.  Until it does, it just gets harder and harder to breath. It's the worst part of pregnancy, but it will pass, just not soon enough. The baby will drop before you completely lose the ability to breath, trust me.
