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!
I get this every pregnancy, I hate it... It is always worse if I am not wearing a bra, I find if I put my bra on, and have it really supportive, it helps to take the pressure off a bit...ah, the joys of being heavily pregnant
I find I spend a bit of time wandering around with my arm under my boobs holding them up! haha quite unconsciously, just to make me feel a bit better (not in public lol)
I have been getting the same pain... sorry to say it only gets worse I find taking a little walk or resting with my right arm up (ie. on the back of the couch) helps a little. At first I would always take my bra off, thinking it was the pressure from the bra, but like Cyathea said that only makes it worse! Also, avoiding big meals helps. When I am really full it is always more uncomfortable.
I asked my Ob and he said that your liver is on the right side and therefore there is less room. My bub is head down and he said it's his bum pushing up against it!
I remember getting jabs in the ribs , or a bum lodgement there, when I was pregnant with Cierra. I remember trying to push her bottom down a bit to give me a bit of grace!
Its pretty uncomfy hey
