Hiya, im now 22plus 2 days pregnant and I have had rib ache on and off so far, I think I even over stretched and pulled it in a funny way so it hurt for a week.

It's to do with the hormone calls relaxin, which gets produced when u ate pregnant, some of us have alot hence alot of aches and pains

Ahh ok that makes sense I was hoping it was a good sign x x x

I'm 34 weeks with baby number 3..... aches and pains started pretty early on with all three of my pregnancies..... You have loads of hormones rushing around your body, try not to worry, it's all part and parcel! If your aches turn to severe pains, especially round your hips/pelvis make sure you have a chat with your midwife about SPD/PGP.... I have had it with too of mine and has now caused some pretty severe damage due to lack of treatment xxxx

Good luck and congrats!

Hey, I had rib ache starting about the same time as you. I'm now 25 weeks. Physio have said it sounds like rib flare, although mine can be very sore. If it persists may be? Apparently it's quite common and all you can do really is adjust posture etc. I'd have rather known at the start as got quite worried n fed up with it further on! If it is rib flare is nothing to worry about good luck!
