My ribs have been hurting on both sides. it hurts to lay down on my back and sides. i am 26 weeks or as some people say 6 months pregnant. what can i do to help with my ribs from not hurting?

Very little: There is little to take for pain except acetaminophen. There can be the use of heat on your ribs and maybe bracing with a soft pillow when you sleep. There can be painful ribs from lying on your side. Time is the best medicine in this case.
