I'm just 28 weeks today and the past few days I have been feeling this strange ache which is in the area beneath my right breast, and at the beginning of my ribcage (if that makes sense?), kind of above where my belly swells out. It's not constant, and is aggravated by moving my right arm up and over my head, or if I find my posture becoming a bit slouchy. Has anyone else ever experienced this sensation? It's almost as though something is pushing up and scraping near my ribcage - I had some vague idea it might be my diaphragm, but I honestly have no idea. It feels like a muscular kind of ache, too. Do you think this could just be my stomach muscles stretching, or something else? It's not unbearable, just slightly odd. I'd really appreciate any opinions on this!
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.
Strange pain near the ribs - what could this be?
