Pregnancy Info HOME

Just to be safe you might want to check with your doctor and have your gallbladder checked. Especially if it is on the right side under the ribcage as this is where the gallbladder is. Gallstones can be a problem during pregnancy because of the increased hormones.Not saying that is what it is,but have it looked into just to be safe.

I know with my second daughter she loved to get right up under my ribs and stay there...god it was painful...I dont remember any swelling or pain when I touched it though...good luck

yea sound to me like the babys head is stuck unner the ribcge

I would get this checked out asap... lower right rib pain can be the first sign of pre-eclampsia along with high BP. I have suffered both this condition and gallstones and both have very similar pains.

Hey just today ive been having a pain in my right ribcage almost near the breast bone, it hurts when i press on it or breath deeply,, i dont know what it could be, also for the past 2 days i guess ive been having swelling of my face, well my face is a little rosy and when i touch it u see white imprints of my fingers. Also ive usually had low blood pressure like mid 80s/50s to early 90s/50s,, but this past tuesday it went up to 112/7?. Now i read that preeclampsia u have high blood pressure not necessarly in the high numbers but if ur top number jumps 30 and the lower jumps 15,,,, any suggestions??

doc says it is usually the uterus pressing up against the nerves that exit the rib area...this is why you feel referred pain to the back as well. Although, it is good to check the gall bladder (especially if you also have nausea within 2 hours after eating)
