Sore upper right back around where rib cage would be

Hi everyone I’m 31weeks+3 today and for the past few days I’ve had a Sore upper right back around where my rib cage would be. It’s only when lying down but it’s persistent no matter what side I lye on so as you can imagine I can’t sleep comfortably. Also getting shortness of breath a lot and find it hard to breath when sitting up/standing. Easier to breath when lying on side. Note sure what these mean!

Hi, following. I have similar symptoms, ribs/rib cage hurting a lot at night, I’ve been struggling to sleep. Also feeling very breathless :/ I’m 32 weeks x

Yes!! I’ve had this for three days now. Any movement is so painful! I called triage on Monday as I didn’t get any sleep and went to the day assessment unit to get checked out. They were thorough and did a load of test’s, everything came back normal. Only thing was, they couldn’t tell me exactly what is causing it. Apart from saying that it was probably the position of my baby. I’m now three days having had very little sleep and feeling like I have bruised ribs. Really hoping it eases off soon as it’s debilitating!

I’m 33 weeks and having this everyday it started around 30 weeks unfortunately I’ve been told there’s nothing to be done about it but painkillers. I have got some stronger painkillers prescribed for the really rough days 🥲
