Rib pain

I get this pain on the left side behind my ribs when I sleep on my side. I'm much better on my back - but I know I can't sleep on my back forever! Any suggestions as to what causes the rib pain? (and any other ways to alleviate it without sleeping on my back?)

Thanks!!

Thanks Kelly.
I had a read of the article - but it was talking about 3rd trimester causes of rib pain. I'm still only 12 weeks - would that still be caused by my uterus pushing on my abdomen?

If its any comfort I am getting the worse rib pain ever too!! I sit at my desk all day and by 12:00 im in so much pain. Im thinking of doing a Marylin Manson (or was it Prince) and removing a few ribs so there is more room for Mr Naughty Pants in there haha!

hehe... now there's a suggestion I hadn't thought of. Seems a little drastic - but maybe I could keep at as plan B? :lol:

I have to try and laugh about it or ill cry LOL! I hope you sort out your rib pain soon though. Do you have a body pilllow? Maybe one could help?

Had been planning to get a body pillow eventually - maybe the time has come!
