What Does Pain & Tightness In Ribs During Pregnancy Suggest?

Hi Doctor how are you? I'm 30 weeks pregnant. I'm having bad pain where if I breath it hurts in high in my stomach under or close to my rib. When I touch the area it hurts and also the area is very tight and tense. The baby feels like shes stuck there. This has been going on for 2 days now. What does this mean? Also when she moves that area hurts

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
This can happen due to a calcium deficiency or decreased levels of Vitamin D3. You can get your serum levels evaluated and start with the suitable supplements.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
