Rib pain?

Im 31 weeks and keep having a sharp and burning pain under my right rib. What could this be? I can barely even drive because of the pain.

Oh wow.
I had a rib inflamation in my first/second trimester and was on bedrest.
So following things can help.
put cold icepack on top of your ribs and a heat pack on your back behind your ribs.
This can soothe the pain.
Posture is so important now, continue to keep your back straight... or you might have serious posture problems later on.. and posture does SO MUCH for our good looks, so it's worth the effort.
If you are able, see a Physio who can maybe give you some light exercises tips.
Good luck hun.
I hope you feel better soon! <3
