Baby Is In My Ribs (Very Concerned)

I just found out I am pregnant about 4 days ago. I have had two other babies and this one feels very different. 

The baby is underneath my ribs, I can feel it moving around. And when I put my fingers down by the end of my ribs I can feel the baby. I think I may be about 3-4 months and I havent been to the docter yet, and I have to wait the whole weekend and I cant wait. The baby has been there all night and it wont leave my ribs. Im worried. Can anyone tell me whats going on?

If baby is in your ribs, you're much further than 3-4 months along. See a doctor.

Yeah if you can feel baby under your ribs your more like 7-8 months pregnant. I would get to a Doctor Monday and request an ultrasound.

Sounds like you are much farther along if the baby is all the way up in your ribs. When you see the doctor they'll be able to measure you and estimate how far along you are. May I ask if you are over weight? Sometimes that can make it harder to tell if you were pregnant for awhile.

No, Im 5 ft and 115 pounds. When I feel the baby with my fingers it feels very small and Im starting to think that the baby is stuck. It doesnt hurt except for when it hits my ribs but I feel pressure non stop. Do you think that the emergency room could give ultrasounds?

Baby isn't stuck. And if he or she is in your ribs, you're much further than 3-4 months. No matter how small you are. Visit a doctor.
