What Causes Recurring Pain Under Ribs During Pregnancy?

i am 24 weeks pregnant with a recurring pain just under my ribs. The nurse at the local surgery did a urine test a few days ago and the test said i had blood and protein in my urine. They sent the sample off and the sample has come back marked as normal by the doctor. the pain in my side is making me feel very unwell, I have been very nauseous (morning sickness stopped at 15 weeks) and tired. The pain in my side became very sore last night when my husband put his arm around me and I was awake for three hours. Please help!

HI,
I understand your concern.
The pain you have under your ribs along with your urine test report few days ago.. suggest the symptom to be due to urine infection.
I would suggest culture & sensitivity test of urine ( the sample being collected in a sterile bottle , 1st morning sample )This will confirm urine infection./ X ray of back can revel urinary stones ( which also can cause such pain)should also be done.
Consult your doctor with the report & take regular specific treatment to get rid of your pain & infection too. Urine infection in pregnancy must be sufficiently taken care of.. for it may turn risky for child & mother too.
Thanks.
