I am 26w and have been experiencing the same sharp pains. My Dr. told me it's because the baby is sitting higher up and that puts pressure on the lungs. Try laying on your left side with arm over head. This helps me. You might also want to try applying gentle pressure to the rib area to move the baby down a little. Hope it helps!
