Rib Pain

I'm 26weeks pregnant and have been having rib pain for a week now.. I went to get it checked but the Dr said its just pulled muscle but I haven't done anything strenuous to pull that part of my body. The pain goes from under my right breast, to my sides leading to right under my right shoulder blade. I could be sitting down or laying down and I would feel that intense pain... Anyone going through something like this but have a different diagnosis?

It is your body expanding and pushing everything up. This is my second child and I've been worried about it both times but my doctor reassures me it's everything moving up for room for baby

Doctors told me that he would still be too low to be kicking that high into the ribs or even be nestled in there (even at 26weeks) but another mother of 3 told me that it's just my body expanding... I feel like I've broken a rib or something lol it hurts so bad and icing it is not helping

Im 18w and im having rib pain. Not as bad as u but it's by left side. I haven't felt him kick yet so idk if it's him kicking or he is on my left side and pushing up on me! It's not too bad, just like a sore feeling
