Sharp Pain

Could be a bruised or fractured rib? Baby could have kicked your liver too. Or maybe you pulled a muscle. Probably nothing to worry too much about, but you should mention it to your doctor.

S., I get that same pain you're talking about. I asked my doc about it and he said it could be gall bladder stones. I'm scheduled for an abdominal ultrasound next week to see if I have stones. Maybe it's the same for you.

Both of my pregnancies had that same pain starting about 1/2 way through. Nothing really relieved it except the delivery. Totally normal.

I was feeling the exact same thing in the same spot around the 26-27th week of my first pregnancy (I'm 37 weeks now) and I read that it's your abdominal wall separating and expanding to make more room for baby. But it kept continuing (even now) and I think it may be the baby's feet in my ribs? It usually is the most painful when I sit down for too long, and subsides if I lay down. Tylenol usually doesn't do anything. I think just riding it out is the best option.. I know how you feel! Good luck!

I have the same pain. With my 1st pregnancy I thought it was just the baby's foot in my ribs, but with this pregnancy (my 2nd) I asked the doc about it and she said it's just from the uterus growing and pushing your other organs out of the way. She said that's where your liver is and so my liver is just being pushed into my ribcage basically. It sounds exactly like what you're talking about, except if I lay down mine gets better, most of the time. My doc said if there were other symptoms with it, like nausea or anything else then it might be gallstones or something but since it's just the pain it's most likely just from the baby stretching out your body. Good times. =) Oh, and with my first it only happened for the like the last 3 weeks of pregnancy, but with this one I've had it for over a month now, and I'm not due till Jan! Ugh.

are you far enough along they are trying to turn to drop into the birthing canal?

sounds like feet. check with your doc to be sure, but it sounds like that baby is literally kicking you in the gut...good luck but check to make sure----you are NOT a hypochondriac.... take care

It sounds like it could be gallstones. You need to talk to your doctor about it ASAP. I had the same issue when I was pregnant with my son but I just figured it was normal pregnancy pain and just after he was born my gallbladder ruptured. It could also be a kidney infection or something wrong with your liver.

I would be sure to tell the doctor about it. But with all of my pregnancies I have had sharp pains in my stomach when I move a certain way. Feels like my stomach muscles are ripping. I have been told its just the muscles stretching.

I'd see a chiropractor. You may have a pinched nerve from everything moving around and your new posture with an expanding belly.

My SIL had the same pain with her pregnancy. Turns out it was because she was hypertensive. Let your doctor know about your pain just to make sure it is just the baby in your rib cage or something more serious.
