Q: Severe pain in ribs

Hi,

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and this is my 2nd pregnancy. Since i was 3 months pregnant i have had a slight pain in my last rib on the right side.

It has now got worse, much worse, over these months. It starts off as slight pain and throught the day the pain spreads to my back ribs and now also the left side, and leaves a burning sensation, it sometimes feels sore when i touch my ribs or when i cough etc.

At first the only way it used to get better was when i lay down, now even that doesnt work.

The pain is so bad i cant do anything, and im fed up of constantly lieing down, i had the same problem with my first pregnancy 3 years ago but this time it seems much worse. It got better as soon as i had my first child.

could anyone please help? or tell me how i could get rid of this pain?
