Re: 37w pregnant, severe pain radiating from back to front

Could it possibly be the baby resting on your ribs? The pain that you
describe, I've had with my son and again with this pregnancy. For me,
it's the baby's bum that is pushing up and "bruising" my ribs and I also
feel the pain below my shoulder blade. I'm presently 38 weeks along and
it's also been 4 weeks since I've started feeling it. I'm just
advancing this as a possibility. If this is it, hang in there...
delivery is just around the corner.
