The thought had crossed my mind, but I think it's far too high up to be any part of little baby - it's basically right under my breast, and I don't think my uterus has quite reached that height yet. I can definitely tell the difference between her not-so-gentle foot movements and funny bodily aches now - she has the kick of a judoist lately!
I had the same pain right up until bub's dropped down. I have know idea what caused it, but if you look at the list of symptoms for the 3rd trimester it is listed on there so it must be quite common. I used to rub ice cube's over it when it was really painful.
I also have this pain and thought it may have been a bub bodypart. Have since been told it is probably the ribcage expanding to make way for the uterus as it grows. I have a very short torso so there isn't much room for uterus and baby to go!
does it ease off if you stretch out or change position. maybe bend at the waist and support yourself on a table or chair back?
i used to have a pain i didnt understand... thought it was just bubs but it came back when she was 4 weeks old. turned out to be gall stones.... not trying to freak you out, sorry, just another possibility. mention at your next doctors visit.
I had rib pain on the right side also but it was mainly in my back not front. Turned out that the pressure of everything moving up to accommodate bump has caused 3 ribs to dislocate. It was probably my biggest aliment during this pregnancy as I could not escape the discomfort. Eventually when bump dropped the discomfort has backed off. But as for a specific sharpish feeling in the front. Turned out to be bump pushing the heel of his foot into my ribs, caught him doing it on one of his ultra sounds. Cheeky little thing!
