This pain may not be related to the pregnancy.
Please get a sonography of the whole abdomen (including the lower part of rib cage) done and consult a General Physician and a Gynaecologist with the report

At seven months, right-sided rib pain usually comes from your baby pushing up against your ribs, especially since the movements are mostly on that side. It often worsens with standing, since gravity adds pressure there. This kind of pain in late pregnancy is also something checked against high blood pressure related problems, so it is worth ruling out.
Next Steps
Shift positions often, lean back on pillows when sitting, and avoid standing for long stretches. Please get your blood pressure checked this week if it has not been done recently.
Health Tips
Go in sooner if you notice swelling in your face or hands, a bad headache, blurred vision, or if the pain turns sharp. Please see your obstetrician for an exam.
