not go back to sleep bc they just hurt and
hurt and I cant sit up or even stand up
str8 as long as I lay down flat they are
ok but is there anything I can do for this
I asked my doc and he really didnt know
what to tell me to do bc he said he
couldtn do an x ray or anything like that
on me he said take tylenol but that dont
help me!! Any one else have this prob

side but its on the side of my stomach and
gosh it seems like my body is totally not
handling being preg to well its just

Try a warm bath, because your body weighs
less in water, it may relieve the
pressure, a massage might help, if you
want to try a heating pad, put it on low
and do it in 5-10 minute intervals. How
far along are you?

Ill be 11 weeks on sunday........ I
member my sisters ribs hurt her when she
was preg she would be up at night crying
but this didnt happen til she was wayyy
further like in her 7th month and everyone
else that says it happened to them they
say it happened around 7 months or 8
months so I dunno why mine are hurting me
now........ I thought maybe bc my ribs
are weird lol one side pokes out and one
side goes in and in the middle it looks
like one side overlapps altho this is not
noticeable unless I lift my shirt and u
really look at it so im not deformed where
I look funny lol u really cant tell unless
u look with my shirt lifted and I suck in
where u can see it good......... So I
duno I thought that may could be it or
anything I dont know

Yeah like kel said..You can put some warm
not hot heat on your ribs for a couple
mins at a time. They are just really
concerned when you are farther along...And
extreme hotness like a hottub. The whole
time while I was pregnant I had real bad
edema and such, so I would stand in a
hottub for like 15 mins at a time (not
sit cuz they my tummy would be immersed)
and my doc said that would be fine.
