I am pregnant for 22 weeks and I feel very strong pain under my left rib. Fist I thought it may be caused by my bra which is too tight and squeezes my breasts. I changed it but pain stays. One day it very strong pain and the other it is weaker. I don't know what the reason is or if it is normal but I would like to hear experience as I have much time till labor comes

Hi, great number of pregnant women have same problem. Some of them feel it under left or right rib while the other feel under both ribs. Reason for this is that uterus push upward and because of that you are feeling pressure and pain. Some doctors send their patients to ultra sound to check gall bladder but exams are in the most of cases negative. Some stretching while you lay on the floor may bring relief to you.
