Are Leaking Left Implant and Sore Ribs Linked?

June 27, 2010
Asked By:9301anon in usa

I am in my third trimester and my left ribs are aching very bad. My left implant also seems to be leaking. I don't know if it is pregnancy related or implant related. I have saline implants. I am very worried....I don't want my baby or I getting sick!
