Itchy and sore midsection

[Ysabell]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else had itchy/sore midsection. But not just any old part - right in the middle, aligned with my breast bone, around the, ahem "fold" of my belly between my belly and my boobs. Its kinda where the bra line is....but I get it even when I'm not wearing a bra - which is as much as I can get away with atm

Also, is anyone else getting rib pain? I'm only getting it on my right side, which is where my obs said peanut's feet are sitting - it feels worse when I try to stretch out a bit.

Argh, whoever said pregnancy was pleasant must have been sniffing too much incense LOL

Yep, I got it. It began early in my last pregnancy and has hung around ever since. Mine was sore and itchy and of course I had to scratch it. I applied a gentle tea tree antiseptic cream which helped it heaps. It got really inflamed and looked hideous. I still get flare ups and I actually have an inverted 'V' line (in my cleavage) which runs all the way down underneath my breasts, and which is now a different colour... kind of dark pink compared with my lily white skin!! I still use the tea tree once or twice a week and that seems to keep it at bay. Good luck

I haven't had the itch but definitely got the rib pain and on the right too. It was worse in my first pregnancy and started earlier, this time I'm carrying slightly differently so it started later. It's worse when I sit for a period of time, especially when driving. My OB said it's normal, as like you, it's where bubs feet are pushing.
