What Causes Severe Rib Cage Pain During 37 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
I am currently 39 weeks pregnant and since 37 weeks my obgyn has sweeped my membranes I just had it done again at 11 this morning and I am feeling worse now than the last two times. I feel like the baby is stuck in my rib cage and I feel so tight around my entire back to the front. I was wondering is this normal because I can t get comfortable at all. I am also 70%effaced and 4 cm
I think the abdominal and back pain you are having may be related to labor. Possibly you are about to give birth. You should seek medical attention soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
