I sometimes get this stinging pain inbetween my ribs.. that IS the baby, right? Or should I be worried, please respond!

Anybody!?!?

I have no idea, hun. I know that your organs are being pushed upward from your expanding uterus and that could have an effect on your ribs. Baby can also kick your ribs sometimes. I'm not real sure though. When is your next appointment? If it continues, maybe mention it at your next appointment.

Not sure, what does it feel like? I know my ribs hurt like hell cus he is kicking them like mad!

Is it soreness, achy??

I had intense pain in one area of my ribs (right side) about the size of a deck of cards.

It didn't move or leave when baby shifted, but it hurt like hell when she'd kick there, or when I moved funny.

Docs were somewhat concerned it was preeclampsia related (liver pain), but after thorough testing, it was determined I had an abdominal muscle that had torn away from my ribcage a bit. It will only get worse as I grow (it has), though it will get much better when I have the baby.

Hope you are feeling better, if it's pain on the right hand side, you might consider phoning your MW or doc.

LO kicks the hell out of my ribs

Could be the baby, haven't had these pains myself although lately I've been getting a pain on my breast bone, think I just need to buy a new bra though

Well it's gone now, but it felt like stinging inbetween my ribs and yes it was on the right side aswell! Mm, and when I moved a certain direction it would sting even worse. I know the baby can jam his feet inbetween your ribs, and my uterus is measuring quite large for my dates, so maybe that could be it?

I would guess it is just everything getting squished! If it comes back and gets worse mention it to your MW when you see her.

I get the stinging against my ribs. The scan I had showed his rump was right against my ribs. So, I think it may be the baby is moving against yours. Mine comes and goes and usually gets worse when he is moving around.
