Chest stretching?

Does anyone have a horrible pain right under their breasts? It hurts to wear a bra at all and just sitting up is very uncomfortable now. My husband said that it's starting to stretch . I'm tired of being so uncomfortable all the time.

It's just so uncomfortable and it usually after I eat something I feel like that too.  I'm 35 weeks today so not much longer to go. I'm just so sick of being miserable.

I know the exact pain! I get it after I eat!  My doctor said it's indigestion gas and it doesn't help that all my organs and the baby is also being pushed up too.  There's not much to do to get rid of the pain :(

26&5 and have felt it for a while for some women it gets better and mothers feel it the whole pregnancy but it's fairly common to experience tightness and occasional sharp pains in the ribs. Hope yours goes away for you

Your ribcage does expand during pregnancy which can cause pain. But it also may be the way baby is laying, they could be pressing on something or other organs could be pushing together. It gets harder to breathe the further along you are (especially if you carry high) and that can be that sharp pain. Just try to lie down slightly propped up and relax and take slow, deep breaths if you can. It should pass
