Why does the pregnant woman have rib pain?

We normal people will experience rib pain, not to mention pregnant women. After pregnancy, pregnant women have to endure many uncomfortable symptoms. So, what causes rib pain in pregnant women? In fact, women will experience nausea, insomnia, fatigue, etc. during pregnancy, and rib pain is also possible, especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, because the increase in intra-abdominal pressure will cause rib pain.

Rib pain in the late pregnancy is generally normal and is caused by the fetus pressing on the nerves. It may also be that the pregnant woman is calcium deficient, or the enlarged uterus causes the diaphragm to rise and the chest cavity to expand, which will cause rib pain. If this pain is always very intense, consider whether you have periostitis and you must go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. You must pay more attention to rest during the later stages of pregnancy. Count fetal movements on time every day to prepare for delivery.
