 Posted: 08/02/07 - 11:55 Post subject: Numbness near ribs during pregnancy |
  |
|
| I just got back from my OB appt, and have been feeling this same thing! It is a small patch, under my ribs on the right side. When I brought it up to the doctor, she immediately said that this was due to the rib cage separating and expanding to make room for the baby. Interesting! She also said some "foot action" under there might aggravate the problem. |

| I am having exactly the same problems and feelings everyone else is describing. I emailed a baby board about it and someone had said that once she delivered the placenta it went away immediately. My doctor said that is is normal and it is caused by my uterus and body growing. I am 35 weeks and hoping that once the baby drops it goes away completely! IT IS SO ANNOYINGLY painful! |

| I am 35 weeks pregnant and am experiencing numbness under my ribs in the center of my stomach. It's about the size of a golf ball, maybe a little bit bigger. I am worried about it and looking forward to going to my doctor's apt. this week. I'll post a response after talking to my doctor. I am glad that I'm not the only one experiencing this though. |

|
|
| I am having the same symptoms. I am 28 weeks pregnant and right below my left boob I am having a burning, rash like feeling with an occasional shooting pain. My doctor mentioned to me it could be gas, but I am very doubtful now. I feel like it is more of a skin issue then internal. If anyone finds out what causes this, I would appreciate an explanation. Good luck to you all! |

| I am 32 weeks pregnant and had the same problem on and off for a while. Lately I noticed its here to stay. It use to be just a numbness but now its an invisble rash; it burns a little. I did talk to my doctor about it, and she didnt seemed bothered by it at all. It is caused by stretched nervous and muscles, its completely normal and I wouldn't stress about it. My best advice is to sit up straight, thats what helps with me. |

I had that massive pain right under my ribs in the middle of the belly, it was stabbing like pain and then burning, especially when i laugh or bend down to pick smth up or put shoes on. It was just in that spot to start with but then spread a little more down over the belly, like half way to the belly button. It's been for 2-3 weeks now. i am 36 weeks pregnant now. For the last 2 days it has kind of gone, but all that area feels numb. i still have sensation there, but it's more like the vague kind of sensation you get in your arm, after it was numb and goes back to normal, with a hint of pins and needles. It feels like circulation been cut off to that part of the belly. I do feel when bub is kicking in that spot.
When I saw my doctor two weeks ago, he said it must be just a muscular pain, as all the organs seem fine, he did a few tests, pressing in various parts on rib cage and said of that was liver or any other internal organ those pressure points would have triggered more pain, but they didn't. So he couldn't explain it. i am having ultrasound in two days, i will certainly ask doctor to have a look if everything is fine. And will ask my obs again. |

I am 37 weeks pregnant and having the same problem for the last 4 weeks, a really unconfortable numbness/burning feeling under the lower right side of my ribs which is mostly present while sitting or laying down, and it stops when I stand up, walk etc...
I asked my midwife and she said that it could be one of the following:
1. The stretching of skin that causes pressure on the nerves and cause this numbness.
2. The baby is constantly "hitting" on the same area, which causes a sort of injure on the inner wall.
3. The location of the placenta and the high blood flow in it, causes a reduction on the blood flow on the skin layers which at the same time causes a feeling of numbness
I hope it helps minimum to have an idea of what's going on, my midwife gave me a homeopathic ointment but I actually feel no improvement with it. What helps me to reduce this feeling is to take a cold piece (i.e. metal) and lay it over the affected area.
I am getting a little crazy because of this plus constantly standing up to go to the loo is taking over my sleep! +_+
good luck everyone! |
