Do your ribs hurt?

lmercil

I am 9 wks with my 1st and my ribs on one side are super sore. I am in pretty good shape and haven't gained anything yet, although belly is little bigger but it is more like a "bad chipotle day" belly more than anything. My chiropractor told me most likely it is b/c things are growing and so they are displacing the organs which in turn are causing my ribs to splay out (not crazy or anything - you can't see it). ie the muscles on my ribs are stretching. And I am just curious if anyone else is having this??

Applying pressure on them seems to help and he suggested using an Ace wrap- not too tight.

So is anyone else having this? Is it normal? Any Advice?

I'm nearly 30 weeks and my rib cage now measures 4 inches larger than it did before I was pregnant. So yeah, the organs are moving up and causing aching too. I think my baby is growing up rather than out. I've just gotten used to it.
