Sore Ribs

Has anyone else encountered their baby kicking directly at the ribs? My right rib is sore as heck. I tried to move him and its like he kicked even harder.   I heard that babies can sometimes break ribs during pregnancy. Is that true? I'm 36 weeks by the way.

My son actually broke my rib 2 weeks before labour.
It was the hardest thing to do with a broken rib.

My ribs/whole right side was bruised for a few weeks, not because of kicking though-from my daughter pushing her butt up against it.. luckily she has moved a little further down the "birth slide" and it healed real quick.. I was about 32 weeks.... now I'm 37 tomorrow and all healed. But ouchie!
