Has anyone else had pain and cramping in lower right rib cage and through the side during pregnancy?

The baby is probably just pressing on that side. There isn't that much room in there you know.   The little bugger is already being a pain!  LOL   Just kidding.  My son used to make me so uncomfortable because he'd move around so much and it was like he was stretching out.  I'd see his foot or hand pressing out.  It was kinda gross, and really uncomfortable.  And he kicked all the time.  Later in the pregnancy he pressed on my bladder alot.

If it's a sharp pain, it might be a dislocated rib.  I just had one of those a few months ago and they hurt like hell!  I went to the chiropractor and he popped in back in (he said it would hurt a little-he lied!), and I felt 100% better immediately.  BTW, I fell and dislocated it, but apparently you can do that from turning wrong or any number of things.

You can find a layman's Abdominal Pain evaluation detailed at\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/90/100640.htm\n\nor others at\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22abdominal+pain%22+assessment&fr=FP-tab-web-t403&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8\n\nBUT if you are in THAT DEGREE of pain, you really SHOULD at least CALL your physician, TALK to at least a Nurse.\n\nFor a young lady, there are MULTIPLE possibilities there, YES, one of which is a TUBAL pregnancy (which CAN be FATAL), along with the ever-popular APPENDICITIS (which can ALSO be FATAL).\n\nDo yourself a favor you might LIVE to regret: CALL YOUR DOC!\n\nBest wishes.

Pregnancy is not a cure for endometriosis!!!\n\nFor me it's extremely painful cramps during my period.  I used to basically pass out.  Also, during the rest of the month I have pain on my lower right side.  I can really feel it when I walk.\n\nI also find that I am tired all of the time.  I think that it is related but there is no way to know with absolute certainty.\n\nNausea and vomiting especially right before and during my period.\n\nBowel problems.  This is also more pronounced right before and during my period.

Appendix possibly.  Have you a fever?  Vomiting?  Diarrhea?\nIf could also be Irritable Bowl Syndrome, Colitis, or if you are a female it could be an ectopic pregnancy.\nDepending upon the severity of the pain go to the doctor or emergency room (casualty).  Good luck!

anything. Pregnancy, it can be stress related, you could be over exercising, under eating, taking medication with those side effects. I had a lot of stress not too long ago and it really messed mine up and I'm generally pretty regular. Hope it sorts itself out soon. If it is really bad and doesn't you may want to visit the doctors.

If the majority of the pain is on the right side it needs to be checked ASAP!!!  Sounds like a gall bladder attack or appendix's. Both can be very serious if they rupture.  Go the ER if the pain is that bad!!  Waiting can make the situation much worse!!

you should get a medical opinion for a question such as this.  I get the same thing but mine is acid reflux disease.  My husband on the other hand had  the same pain and turns out that the fluid between his ribs and chest wall was not there any more.  He thought he was having a heart attack.  so you see if could be a number of things.  I would get to a Dr. real soon.

There are lots of possible causes for pain in this area.  Period pains and bladder infections are just two of them.  If your pain is severe, go see an Emergency Doctor.  Otherwise, you should take a pregnancy test.  If this is positive, then you should still go see an emergency doctor, as you may be having a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy.  If the test is negative, then make an appointment to see your family doctor in the next 24 to 48 hours.  Other possible causes include (but are not limited to) pelvic infection, appendicitis and endometriosis.

I had a hard time with my legs and feet swelling during my pregnancy,  but is seemed to help if I increased my water intake and went for a little walk.  You must take your prenatal vitamins too.   I hated the cramps, but pregnancy effects women differently.  Just have to stick it out and make sure you are following your doctors advice on proper nutrition and excercise.

Occasionally women have a pain when the egg is traveling down the fallopian tube. This pain will be even or lower than your belly button, on either the left or the right side (about 2-3 inches).

Go and see you GP and ask about Gallstones.  When I had it I had pain at the bottom of my chest on the right side and into my back.  I was treated for a urine infection too.

Umbilical hernia, infection, bowel obstruction, ascites (a collection of fluid) in the abdomen, Endometriosis...could be a number of things.  Other symptoms should help your doctor narrow it down (for example, is there discharge from the umbilicus, does it occur in relation to your menses, do you have a history of GI issues, is the umbilicus blue-tinged, etc. etc...).  It's also important to be re-checked for appendicitis, as that could be a misdiagnosis the first time around (it happens).\n\nBased on your additional comment, I'm even more inclined to think appendicitis.  Umbilical pain w/diarrhea are hallmark symptoms...is the pain moving to the right or shifting in any way?  Is it constant, or does it subside?\n\nI'd get a second opinion if I were you.  The worst that can happen is that you spent time getting another opinion that said it wasn't appendicitis too...but at least you'll be safer knowing.\n\nGood luck and feel better.

I has a chest X ray done when I was 8 weeks pregnant with my first.  I did not know I was pregnant at that stage (long story! lol) so I had no protection of my abdomen.  When I found out I was pregnant I worried that she would be born with problems but she was perfectly fine.  You had protection so I am sure you and your baby will be fine.

Yep. sounds like you may have some arthritic changes in your foot/feet.  I know about foot pain becasue I have it often.  I've noticed that eating a lot of calcium or taking calcium supplements on a regular basis helps.  Esp. given the fact that you've just been pregnant, your body may be "leeching" calcium... Try this along with vitamin c (oj) to help you digest the calcium!
