i am 23 weeks pregnant why do my ribs ache but mostly at night?

Question

i am 36 and 23 weeks pregnant

Answer 1

hi try sleeping on your left side witha pillow between your legs this will hopefully make your baby move ..good luck

Answer 2

SUPPORTIVE BRA AND GOOD POSTURE (that is the best thing I can tell you) My boobs are so heavy that i sit funny and when I go to bed at night my ribs hurt so bad. My baby is due in 3 days and every contraction I get sends my ribs into a frenzy. If I sit up really straight it helps cut down on the pain at night.

Answer 3

The same thing happened to me when I was pregnant. It was because my baby would get much more active at night and would kick the sh** out of my ribs. It hurt!

Answer 4

Oh man..let me tell you, theres nothing you can do about it and it SUCKS. Mine has been getting progressively worse since week 27. I cant even strap my bra on anymore! My doctor says its because the baby hasn't dropped yet. Her feet are tormenting my poor rib cage! It helps to sit up very straight, to lay on my side in bed (sometimes!), and to lift my arms above my head or pull them behind my back. This stretched open your rib cage, leaving more space for your baby and less cramping for mommy. Good luck!

i've got had that two times, the two circumstances have been regarding my gallbladder. the 1st time the soreness radiated around to my decrease back. I went to the well-being midsection and that they found out the being pregnant brought about me to get gallstones and that i became having a gallbladder attack. they want me to get it out a pair of month after the infant's born, yet I nevertheless have not desperate if i will do it that quickly yet. the 2nd time became when I ate some yogurt that had aspartame in it. I usually do no longer consume something with man made sweeteners, yet I by threat offered yogurt that did, so I ate a million/2 of it besides. vast mistake! i finished up getting an analogous pains. besides the incontrovertible fact that, when I threw up the rigors finally went away. i think of this time my gallbladder became basically annoyed, yet i did no longer flow directly to have an entire attack. it may desire to easily be gasoline, besides the incontrovertible fact that it may desire to be your gallbladder too, so in case you do no longer experience greater advantageous interior of an hour or 2, i might call the well-being practitioner.

Answer 6

when i was pregnant, my unborn baby was practically nocturnal - and from all the kicking and movement i felt from him, it felt like he was practising gymnastics inside me ! it does get more uncomfortable as your pregnancy progresses (sorry to tell u that !) u also get the growing pains as your body stretches and adapts to pregnancy. all your internal organs like your lungs, stomach, etc, get squashed up under ribcage to make way for your growing baby. best thing u can do is have a warm bath before going to bed, that way your body is relaxed and will probably ache less. if it starts to become really painful, speak to your midwife / doctor. good luck. x

Answer 7

Unborn babies are more active at night when you sleep. Possibly the baby is putting more pressure on your ribs at that time and causing you discomfort.

Answer 8

Probably because the baby is lying awkwardly ( for you, not for him/her!) and making your sleeping position uncomfortable. Try exta pillows, behind your head, or back, or between your legs, under your feet, whatever helps!
Good luck
