Appalling left stitch rib pain - worried

Hattie80 · Mar 1st, 2010, 13:59 PM

I'm getting AWFUL really painful stitch-like pain in left ribs and often further down left-hand side of bump. It's worse after waking after sleeping on left side and is soooo sore.

Also feels like baby is getting crushed when i sleep on side... but we're told 2.

Any1 having this prob? Any advice? Thanx x

Could it be rib flare, thats really painfull. Does the pain ease if you lift your arms up above your head?

Baby is pushing your ribs out! Its not nice either. Try and sit more up-right. Try sitting up in bed see if that helps.
