Pregnancy Info HOME

I have also had pain below my ribs on both sides, but it has been much worse on the right side. This is just something to think about, but I have heard that your right kidney becomes inflamed during pregnancy and the pressure from your growing uterus can make it painful. I have had recurrent kidney stones before and during this pregnancy, and my urologist told me that it's fairly common for women to feel more pain on the right side as opposed to the left, mainly due to the right kidney and other organs getting squished. Like someone else advised in a previous post, I would definitely recommend getting to the doctor or ER if the pain is unbearable....Kidney stones and kidney infections are not something that you want to try and "tough out" at home!
