Stomach ache

I don't wanna worry you, because it could be nothing!! But pain under your ribs can be a sign of pre-eclampsia, so I'd say it's best to phone triage xx

Could also just be indigestion and your organs moving about to make room for baby. But I think best to be safe and get checked over/ call for advice xx

@Hannah I may not have explained it in the best way, when I say under ribs it’s across the top of my stomach and not located to the side, but maybe it’s best to just give them a call to be on the safe side!

I have this and was worried about pre-eclampsia so I phoned my midwife but she said it's more likely to just be due to everything growing. She said that before 20 weeks it's too early to be pre-eclampsia. I've also realised it's only uncomfortable/sore when I'm sitting in a certain position. Like if I sit up really straight or lean back it goes away if that makes sense xx

@Jess yeah that makes sense! I’ve lay down resting most of the evening and not felt it so I think it must be everything growing! If it’s still there tomorrow though I will call midwife and just run it by her!xx

Let us know what she says! I'm sure it'll be fine though. Just another one of those weird pregnancy things 😂

I have this! Had it in my first pregnancy it’s just because of things growing it’s so uncomfortable. Also if you do ever get like right sided rib pain I will tell you know it won’t go away😂😂 talking from personal experience in my first pregnancy the pain just gets worse till birth😂😂😂

@Natalya oh the joys of pregnancy 🙈 this is my second pregnancy but I don’t remember it from first time round! Yes, I had the rib pain with my first!! Felt like my son was digging his foot up in there constantly! 😂

Yes!! That’s the rib pain I had!!!! That and sciatica were probably the worse parts😂😂😂

@Jess your midwife should never give you this advice! You can develop pre eclampsia from 15 weeks. I was gaslit with my first son and told I couldn’t have pre eclampsia as I was only 26 weeks- I was already in multiple organ failure as a result. Please go and get checked if you are worried

@Alice Thanks Alice. I'm sorry that happened to you! Did you have any other symptoms of pre-eclampsia if you don’t mind me asking? The pain I have is only when I sit in a certain position and it's at my bra line but is mostly on my right side

@Jess I only had swelling and then pain in my left side on my ribs. If I lay down it at times disappeared but it was so bad it use to wake me up
