    ribs

    i am only 4 weeks (5w in 2 days) but everytime i slouch i feel like i am crushing somethign and my ribs start to hurt abit. i always used to slouch b4. i think it might just be a mind over matter thing. has anyone else had this.

    Hi Sassy - I'm with you a little on this one - I have been feeling sharp pains at the bottom of my rib cage for the past couple of days. I'm not worried about it because I know aches and pains of all kinds are normal - but I do think it is extremely odd that I should be feeling pain there at just 4 weeks - maybe it has something to do with breasts becoming heavier??
    Maybe your heavier breasts are putting pressure on your ribs when you are slouching? I'm just hazarding a guess here - I really don't know!!

    Hi guys, I am only early into my pg also and when i slouch i feel the same thing, I thought it might have something to do with being bloated - which i know that i am atm.

    oooh yes Kristy - that makes more sense. Ha! Gotta love that early pregnancy bloating. By the evenings I look like I am 4 months pregnant. Uuugh.

    Oh Kristy - I'm excited to see another June EDD. We will be in the EDD forum together!

    Yeah, i know. I looked on Sunday and I didnt have any belly buddies yet so havent posted there. Hmmm bloating, tell me about it. Went shopping with Dh on Sunday and had to undo my jeans cause they were so tight - normally i can take them off without undoing them. Hope it settles down soon.
