She Broke My Rib!!
So i am just about 35 weeks and my little one has some power behind her kicks! I was laying down a few days ago and she kicked me so hard in the rib i had to cringe in pain, my rib was sore after that but i dident think much of it. Well the next day i could bearly breathe in all the way, a cough, sneeze, a tiny little laugh, moving to quickly, bending... any little movement in general hurts so bad i almost pass out from the pain. i have had rib pain from week 25 on, but this was way different, It was only the one rib rather than all of them. I decided to go get it checked out but my midwifes office was already closed for the day and i dident want to call her at home from something like this, so i went to a clinic. Well the on call Dr felt around, poked and prodded the rib and told me it was indeed broken but there was nothing they could do for me, but take tylenol and rest as much as possible. Then he quickly left the room before i could ask anything else.
Well, my question is have any of you ladies had this happen in this or a previous pregnancy? what did you do for pain management?
My big question that i am stressing about is were you able to give birth vaginally? or did you have to have a c-section due to the pain on your rib from pushing? I will ask my midwifes opinion when i see her next but just wanted to see if any one was in a similar situation?

sorry Im no help..
@ll10 Yes indeed soccer for toddlers! and unfortunately he only said tylenol, because he was a clinic dr and dident know the ins and outs of my pregnancy he dident want to prescribe anything to me with out the ok from my midwife. Tylenol done absolutely nothing for me so im basicly working threw it with alot of moaning and gowning and moving around like a crippled animal.
@2ndbutfirst Apparently it takes about one and ahalf to two months to fully heal, so lets just hope she dosent kick it again and completely break it off the cage! lol
@laura536 Thank you! but after the post thats going on im just gona let her cool off maybe?
@momof22be owchie is right! lol like ll10 said shes got a future in soccer, or kick boxing!
@ll10 ill have to ask my midwife at my next appointment, or maybe my family dr. My mother has an appointment with him tomorrow so maybe ill go with her and sneek a few questions in!
@erkieshavingagirl i had hurd it could happen but never thought it would happen to me you know? im realy petite so iv got a tiny little rib cage and shes packed in there like a little sardine so i dident think she would have enough room to even back the force of a kick like that up! and thank you
@pinkbaby0930 Thank you
