Pain around and between my ribs (10 points available)?

Hey just wondering if anyone knows what this is.

Ever since I had my little girl 12 weeks ago I've been having pains around and between my ribs. First off it was just on the left hand side, throbbing pain on par with contractions that lasted about 10-15mins, now it's lasting 30-45mins and I really can't take it anymore as it's constant.

It happened again today, about 3 hours ago, pain has dulled down but I can still feel it slightly now.

Any ideas?

I'm going to go the doctors on monday about this.

Thanks in advance xx

Update:

Even though it hurts quite alot when it happens I totally forgot at my 6 week check up due to sleep deprivation!

    I presume you are taking painkillers for it? Hard to say what it is really, sometimes a cracked rib causes pain like this but you would probably remember injuring yourself and the pain usually eases after 6 weeks or so.

    Hopefully your doctor will shed some light on it for you. Why did you wait so long to see your doctor if its been 12 weeks, just curious? I'd have mentioned it at my 6 weeks check up.
