Here is the pain I am having:
1. Immediately below the ribs - slightly right of center
2. Sharp pain, somtimes throbbing. But mostly just a constant pain. Not incredibly painful, but annoying.
3. When it throbs, it is a bit more painful, but doesn't last long.
4. When sleeping, usually hurts when I change positions.
5. My skin in this area is numb and tender to touch
6. Sometimes hurts more after I eat
7. Have had it now for about 3 weeks.

I had this pain in my last preganancy. Had gall bladder untrasound and liver panels done. Everything came back normal.

Just started again with this pregancy (now 30 weeks).

Not sure what is going on. Muscular? Gall Bladdar?

Sorry you're in pain. :hug
That sounds similar to my gallbladder pain before I had mine removed. I also often got the urge to burp. My first gallbladder ultrasound was also normal, but the second one showed the problem. A lot of people with gallbladder problems find it helpful to eat low-acid foods, avoid anything fatty, and generally stick to a very mild diet.
Hope you get it figured out soon.

Gallbladder pain is on your right side just at the base of your ribs. Another symptom is pain/soreness under your right shoulder blade in the back. Pregnancy hormones can cause more stones to be created.
