A member asked:

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with mid back pain and ribs no stomach pain or cramping what could be the reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle tension: It sounds like you are having some muscle strain which is common during pregnancy. The pain in your ribs is likely costochondritis. This is inflammation in the muscles between your ribs. This can occur from coughing or just laying on that side while sleeping. If other symptoms arise such as fevers, nausea, vomiting or pain with urination, visit your doctor immediately as it may be an infection.
