I'm 22 weeks pregnant with my second son btw. And no position seems to help sitting up straight, slouching, laying down etc. They just feel like they are bruised. Just feels like the bottoms ribs. Pain is a constant ache all the time for about the last couple of weeks.

I had the same thing, but unfortunately, it only gets worse the bigger the baby gets.
But look on the bright side, in a few months, he won't be in there anymore!

I wish,There was something I could tell you to do,The best guess would be maybe go in for a Rub down,From a massage Person,Sit in a Tub of warm water.
Or a have a shower seat in the shower and sit there with the water in on you.
Your baby boy is probably Hanging off your ribs,Like mine is!! He's seem to take up Residence there Latley!
Hang in there!! your over the half way mark!

CONGRATS on your baby!!
Not much you can do right now. He will drop pretty soon (in the next month or so) and you will be more comfortable in your ribs.
The only thing that helped me with those aches and pains was a chiropractor. I didn't see one in my first pregnancy, but did for my last two-- and wow, what a difference!
Best of luck to you!

I had the same with my son because he was a big boy but sat quite high and every time he moved it was like "OUCH"' under my ribs. i just had to keep massaging his feet back down to a comfortable position.
If you are concerned talk to your GP, maybe bubs in a positioned it shouldn't be in. Although you are still pretty early so they probably wont be concerned

not to scare you but thats one of the signs of preeclimpsia that my dr told me to watch out for. Be sure to watch out for extreme weight gain and swelling in your face and hands. But I have pain under my ribs alot of times but its never constant.Just shooting pains mostly.. and its just my baby kicking me in the ribs. I always lay on my left side it seems to help me not get kicked in the ribs so maybe it will dull your pain as well. But good luck and be sure to tell your Dr. about this just to be on the safe side.

This could be because of muscle fatigue or dehydration. Why don't you try some time tested home remedies? I found this website very useful. http://aches.in/cramps.html
