Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the pain in the rib cage and back can be due to muscular pain or gastritis.Avoid spicy and oily diet.Take food in small quantities every 2 hourly.Take antacids.If not subsiding take panadol for pain and local irritants and hot fomentation can be applied.Dont worry It will subside.Some or other types of non specific pains are common in pregnancy.They will subside spontaneously.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
