I'm 17 years old and a first time mom. I'm 16 weeks and 4 days and I keep getting this sharp pain every once and awhile in between the top of my ribs right under the middle of my breast. Anyone know what it could be it freaks me out and makes it hurt to breath?

I had that..pain only got worse until my baby dropped. Now my pain is gone and i'm so happy. Started getting rib pain at 20weeks and my baby dropped at 33weeks. I'll be 38 weeks on Tuesday.

Could just be trapped gas from everything finding new positions. Lay on ur left side for a while when that starts to happen.

I drink a lot of water and breathe normally it just hurts to breathe when I get the pains. Ive had them a total of 4 times and its always in the morning. I just don't know what causes it.

Could just be everything in your belly getting pushed upwards to make room for your baby. Make sure you're hydrated and breathing good too because those things I notice can cause pain below your ribs
