Any Advice?

I hate complaining because I hear some of you ladies talk about what you're going through and I know I don't have it that bad. But...I am starting to get very uncomfortable most of the time. I am having a lot of pain and discomfort under my ribcage on my right side. My peri checked my gall bladder and liver and nothing seemed to be out of order. I can't lay on my side because my ribs are so sore can't lay on my back or I'll pass out and if I lay too far on my side and put pressure on my belly I get contractions on that side. It seems to be a lot worse if I haven't used the bathroom sorry tmi.. or if I am gassy and bloated. Is there anything I can do for that (gas-ex,or anything like that). Anybody else going through this, how are you dealing with it?

I am also having pain underneath my ribcage on my right side. My ultrasounds show that my baby boy likes to stick his bum up under my ribcage and I am assuming that is where the pain comes from. My rib almost feels bruised from the pressure.

I have also felt a slight tingling feeling on my right side in that area and when sharing with a friend that was recently pregnant with twins it seems she felt something similiar. We concluded that there must be a nerve or something that runs through there.

I don't know how helpful that is...but I am sorry that you are feeling this way. Not getting sleep is soooo frustrating. Are you using a body pillow to sleep with?

 

It's funny you mention the tingling because the skin in the area has a real pinchy feeling and there is a patch of skin that is numb. You are probably right about the nerve thing.

 

for the gas, mylanta works pretty well. drink tons of water, too. sorry you aren't feeling well.

 

I remember going through rib pain at about 20 wks... I think they were "stetching" you know how your hips spread!!?? I couldnt take deap breaths and laying down killed! But the good news is it went away! So just give yourself a week or two and hopefully those babies will get everything stretched out and things will calm down. PS my babies are also very low so that may make a diff. too

 

I've been getting this pins and needles like feeling under my right rib cage - it's very weird. THen sometimes it's a sharp pain in the same place. Pretty uncomfortable. I have a growth scan tomorrow and will ask the doc about it.

 

Can I just say 'me too!' about the pain/discomfort under the right rib cage? But for me it feels like there's a baby stretching under there! So I've got one stretching up under the ribs and one kicking/punching me in the bladder. Yay. But I guess if I read some posts from the mamas who are 10 wks or so farther along- I don't feel as bad. Well, not yet, anyway. At least I can still sleep halfway decently!
Keep on keepin' on, mamas! Stay positive! It'll be worth it!

 

Yup! I've got this too- started about a month ago at least. We did all the tests for pre-e/liver and all that, but it just seems to be that baby B keeps pushing his way up into my ribs. Not much can be done, except try to find the comfiest position and stay there! Hang in there! You're definitely not alone!

 

you are not alone, baby B's butt is always in my right side rib cage...It takes my breath away alot. I have had numbness in that area for wuite some time, which is probably just him pushing on a nerve...
As for Gas I'm pretty sure Gas X is fine to take, I googled it, and have taken it a few times.
