    Hey I've had the same sort of rib pain for about a month as well, I'm almost 36 weeks now, and the OB had a feel and told me it was the baby's bottom!

    It gets worse when I lie down on my right side (left bottom rib, so I'm figuring when I lie on my right the whole baby gets pushed up further into the left side of my ribcage).

    Also when I press it with my hand it feels sore and bruised.

    Sounds like there are a few of us with bodyparts doing nasty things to our ribs.

    I have exactly the same pain on the left rib and it only goes if I sit up really straight and arch my back. It hurts to sleep aswell. I was worried at first but am glad to read I'm not the only one.

    The baby is transverse though so I don't know what body part it is!
