pain in stomach

So im almost 18 weeks and all day ive had this kind of sharp achy pain right near my diaphram. I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with this? If I were to guess I'd say it might be just things moving around some more to make room for the baby? I'm not sure I'm a ftm so I don't have anything to base it off of.

Yes it is round ligament pain. Its just your belly strengthening itself to support your baby when he/she gets big. :)
I've had the same pains, and sometimes its very uncomfortable! I usually just rub the spot that hurts and it seems to help.
I am 20 weeks today and have had pains for a few weeks.
