What Causes Painful Ribs During Pregnancy?
I am 28 weeks pregnant and I have pain in my ribs, mostly on the left side that ranges throughout the day from mild to moderate, occasionally severe. It feels like my ribs are crushing in and it sometimes makes it hard to breathe. I am having trouble finding any possible conditions or remedies that match my symptoms. My OB said to try taking beano because it could be gas trapped under the ribs but that has not helped. Any other suggestions?
