28 Weeks Pregnant, Having Pain In Right Back Side. What Could This Be?

I m currently 28 weeks pregnant and having pain in my right back side. It s not low, but it s not higher than the bottom area of my ribs. Should I be concerned with my kidney? Or could it be gas. Would it be making an ache if it was either of the two, or could it be my baby.

Usually pain in the back and ribs is seen in pregnancy due to stretching and pull on muscle of back dur to growth of baby. ...abdomen pulling forwards puts a strain on the back and stretching of ribs also seen.....this is due to adjustment of body to create space for the baby....nothing to worry. ....u can apply a mild painkiller gel locally if you are having severe pain...otherwise rest would suffice. ...
