When did you start to feel uncomfortable? - rib pain Q

I am 24 weeks and feel pretty good BUT my ribs and upper back (bra line area) are killing me.

I don't think it is the baby kicking me in this area b/c I am getting low kicks. But I am afraid it is just the stretching of my ribs or my boobs. I went from a 36 D to a 40 DD and I am still growing.

I got extenders thinking that it would ease the rib/back pain but it is not getting better.

I find it hard to breathe sometime and only get relief when I lay down...


for relief.
I see the doc this week for my regular appt and will ask her but...

Aw, I hope you get some relief soon! I probably started feeling uncomfortable shortly after entering my third trimester, so I guess right around 27 weeks, where you are now. Hang in there, you're more than half way to the finish line!

I'm almost 22 weeks and feel the same rib pain and upper back pain you describe. I have no clue what it could be.

The only thing that really helped me with the rib pain is prenatal yoga - the class I went to did all sorts of shoulder rolls and arm stretches that helped make it a little roomier in that region (for a little while at least)

I felt pretty good up until around the 7 month..now I feel like it's all downhill from here!
