Hi, I am 31 weeks pregnant and lately I cant sleep that well anymore. When I sleep on my left hand side for a little while my ribs get to be so sore on that side more to close to the spine, last night it got to the point where I couldn't sleep like that anymore so i changed to the right hand side, later the right ribs were feeling the same as well and I understand that I shouldn't sleep on my back. My ribs are currently still feeling uncomfortable even now. How can I remedy this situation? I must add that with my work I am more sitting than standing and I always have my feet up. Thank you!
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain by the side of the rib that you are getting is likely to be due to a muscular pain. Such mild pain is commonly associated with pregnancy due to changes in the body posture. Mild pain killers and hot fomentation will help you.
