Baby position: In the third trimester of pregnancy may experience sore or painful ribs and back , which can range from mild discomfort to extremely sore. Pain and soreness is caused by pressure from the top of uterus, as well as baby kicking or punching the area. Sore ribs are usually on the side of the baby’s position and can be felt just below the breasts. Improves when baby drops.
