HI,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Changes in hormones, growing barest , difficult breathing & pressure of growing baby on diaphragm , Low calcium levels cause pain in ribs in pregnancy.
Use of loose clothes/ supporting bras/ leaning your back backwards.. helps in having good posture relieve rib pain.
Calcium & vitamin D supplements as per doctor's advise also helps.
* Though over exertion ( run, dance, walk ) is not advisable in pregnancy.. it can cause abortion in case your hormones are weak. Such side would be indicated by cramps/ bleeding through vagina. YOu do not seem to have such symptoms.. so hope fpr your baby to be survived. ( confirmed by USG scan )
Baby movements are first felt in 6th month of pregnancy in case of 1st pregnancy.
Thanks.
