Rib Pain

I'm having a hard time sleeping at night because of pain on the left side of my ribcage. Is there any way to relieve this? Whenever I lay down the pain starts flaring up. I'm 23 weeks and it started about a week ago. Why is this happening?

I also take one Tylenol before bed. I think it helps some.

I have severe rib pain when on my right side and severe hip pain on my left side.  Told my doctor and she felt on my ribs but didn't feel anything unusual. Told me to use lots of pillows.  I have my hubby wedge a pillow under my side, and then stack another on top of that then I roll one my back. So I'm at an incline not flat on my back but the pressure on my sides are reduced.  (hope that makes sense lol) I'm 33 weeks and this has been going on since I was 20weeks.

Well I have a doctor's appointment today. I was just wondering if this happens all the time since I'm a ftm.
