What Causes Persistent Pain Under Rib Cage During Preganncy?
I have a constant pain under my left rib cage, it feels similar to a bad bruise and hurts worse when pressure is applied. I am currently 35 weeks pregnant, 5 2 , 140 lbs (I ve gained a total of 26 lbs with my pregnancy). Could this be a gallbladder issue or is this just a normal growing pain of pregnancy?

this may be due to ur growing uterus that is giving pressure to the diaphram so there is discomfort and u r feeling pain and if u r feeling that this is due to gall bladder then better go for a scan of whole abdomen that will tell about ur baby also and clear ur doubt
