Rib pains at 20weeks pregnant and what to look forward to in Anatomy scan appointment?

[Hopefull3]

Hi everyone to everyone reading this. I've not posted in here in a while. Been so carried away with a lot, work, bring pregnant and getting sick from covid.

I wish everyone trying to conceive all the best. Anyone have experience with side ribs pain at 20 weeks? Secondly, when I delay to pee there's an abdomen discomfort, tested and it's not UTI, is it normal in pregnancy?

What should I expect at anatomy appointment and what questions should I have in mind? Babybhas not given me the chance to see the gender but will do so at the anatomy scan. Please share any experience.

Do you have any swelling in your hands or feet. Rib pain and problems with urine could be down to pre-clampsia so maybe speak to the specialist and rule this out.xxx

I've not noticed any swelling at the moment. My BP was checked, it was fine, my urine was checked as well and it was all clear. I get an off and off rib pain on the side near the back side. It started at week 19.Urine is all fine now, didn't have pain with urine just felt uncomfortable when delayed to pee and when I finally pee but all that stopped now, maybe cause I don't keep pee too long.

I'll be sure to mention this to the Dr on next appointment this week. Thanks a lot for sharing....

These things can be so confusing

Hi Hopefull. Make sure you mention the rib pain when you next have an appointment, just to check that all is well. Hope all continues as it should. Diane

Is baby not sitting on your bladder I’m 23w honestly the pressure on my bladder even when I don’t really need to pee it’s weird.
