Left rib cage pain in week 16 pregnancy

Hi. I started to experience left rib cage pain yesterday and at first I thought it’s just gas pain or I slept too much on my left. But earlier today, whenever I walk, I still feel slight pain on the left rib. I called my Gynae clinic and nurse mentioned might be the position of the baby or round ligament pain. Anyone experienced it?

Yes i did. Costochondritis is when your upper ribs combine with the cartilage that holds them to your breastbone. This can cause chest pain. Pregnant women usually feel this pain in their lower ribs. A few signs you may have this condition include sharp pain near your breastbone and ribs, usually on the left side.

could be RLP or could be position as well. but the pain shouldn’t last too long. if affects physical activities or sleep, and you feel like smth is off, dont wait, rush to the ER.
