Extreme back/rib pain
I’m not sure if this is normal or not but I’ve had extreme back pain and awful pains in my side and ribs too the point I’m nearly in tears. Midwife said it’s just the position that baby is in but it’s as soon as I sit or lie down the pain starts. I can’t sit down as it’s just too painful. I’ve taken paracetamol and that doesn’t seem to help and not sure if there’s anymore stronger painkillers you’re allowed to take in pregnancy?

I’ve had similar pain, in my right side going from my side to my back, when it hurts it hurts, but ir doesn’t always hurt, and was also told that it’s to do with position of baby, kicking into the back/ribs. I’m 23 weeks
Oh bless you, I had very similar pains at the very end of my pregnancy, it was awful. Take care of yourself Xx
I am having the same issue and I was prescribed codeine. It caused such bad constipation though that the impacted 💩 was pressing on my bladder with baby pressing on the other side of it and I stopped being able to even pee, so not sure I would recommend it 😬

Oh bless you, I had severe rib pain to the extent it hurt to even breathe deeply and it was awful. I’m not sure how long you’ve had it but mine only lasted about a week so hopefully yours will ease off soon 🙏🏼 sending lots of love x
