m 7 months pregnant and i was wondering if it was normal to hurt in your rib cage?

Answer 1

Yes.

My sister-in-law and I have both experienced this. She experienced it because of the way the baby was pushing against the top of the placenta, towards her ribs.

I had it because of the the pressure from the way I was carrying.

If you're truly worried, call your OB's office and talk to a nurse.

Answer 2

I'm 7 months pregnant as well ... I've only experienced pain in my rib cage once in a while, but I thought it's normal coz the baby moves a LOT

Answer 3

Yeah - the baby is probably starting it's kickboxing practice. Seriously though, sometimes the baby will kick you in the ribs, or stretch out sideways, etc. As I remember, starting at about 7 months, everything starts to ache and hurt a bit. Weird aches in weird places. Your bones are starting to stretch apart in preparation for birth because relaxin in being emitted in your body - and it makes everything loosen up, not just your pelvis. Wait till the baby turns around - that's a fun one!
Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy and enjoy the new baby!!

Answer 4

If the baby is putting pressure on your ribs it will hurt, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and still get the rub pains cuz my baby is pushing right up against my ribs.

Answer 5

Yes, the baby is starting to take up a lot of room and your ribs are starting to spread apart. It may also give you back pain in the future. Good Luck. It will be over soon and you will have a wonderful child. It will all be worth it.

Answer 6

Yes it is normal, I'm nine months pregnant and I still have pain in my ribs, mine started around 7 months also. It's that precious baby getting bigger running out of room, Good luck!

Answer 7

Let me start by saying congratulations this must be your 1st
yes this is very normal
i remember i started feeling the pain in my 6 month
it willl get more intense as the pregnancy proceeds
i am a mother of two and this is normal
your child is getting bigger and your body has only so much space to keep the baby.you will feeling pain and pressure in many parts of your body some parts you didn't know you had and never felt before this is normal ask your doctor he will agree with me i am also a RN so trust me this is all apart of being pregnant
I remember in both my pregnancies I felt pain by my rear end during my last few months it was very painful because i never felt this part of my body before but my baby let me know it existed
this is all normal to experience don't worry I know as a new mother who knows what to expect but like I said we all have been where you are
hope this helped ease some of your worries

Answer 8

Ohhh honey, Welcome to the wonderful world of being a mother! See, it started with nausea, then you get those rib cage pains commonly known as, 'baby kicking!' But it gets better... Soon, he/she might even get in there just right and its hard to breath! Soon you will have labor pains and then the finally! CHILD BIRTH!! lol
It hurts and its the begining of many many other pains to come but in its own special way... Its all worth it all the time!
Hang in there babe!

Answer 9

I'm 7 months pregnant with my 5th and yes it is normal... Mine is caused because my organs are getting pushed up... and the baby like to kick and stretch too... mainly though is it from organs moving around.

Answer 10

it is very normal, your baby is pushing up against your rib cage, and he/she whatever you are having, is kicking and moving around like its having a party or something and your rib cage can get very sore. no worries!
