I'm Currently Feeling:  | I know when my sister was pregnant with one of hers she got the baby kicking up - I'm not aware of anything that they did though. Seek advice from your mw tbh. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | dont think much can do, ive had it alot. my midwife said with baby growing bigger starts to take up room of your lungs and pushes on your rib cage, which can become rather painful, maybe try lying down.
probably decrease in pressure and pain once baby goes in to your pelvis slightly. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I agree with Leannes, try lying down and relaxing, I think that is the only way it can help you.
I get lots of pain as well when i sit too long in the office, i would get some kind of sharp pain around my pelvis area when i walk, then it gets better after a while.
Merry xmas! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Thanks ladies for the replies. I feel much better that there are others in the same boat. Nothing much can be done though except for lying down.  |

Have you tried changing positions yet? In not try getting on all fours and rocking back and forth to move your lil one...OR you can stand and sway side to side even.
At least you know your lil one is happily moving around. Hope you get a bit of relief soon. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | This is fairly common from what I know, as the baby grows bigger, your ribs get pushed up and out which will cause pain. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I started getting this around like 24 weeks and asked my doctor about it and she said it's most likely due to your uterus growing and your organs pushing up into your ribs, can't find anything that quite helps though besides sometimes switching positions |
