Very painful tender lump under my right rib cage on my back. can't sleep and can't touch it. also 30 weeks pregnant, what could it be?

Need to see it: to be sure, but you could be developing an abscess there. Is it warm to touch? Does it have a pointing area where it may drain? Does a warm compress make a difference? I think your best approach is to notify your doctor to have it checked.
