I had exactly the same thing when I was pregnant. How far along are you? I started to get it when I was about 5 months or so. When I was sat at my computer at work I would make everyone jump because I would suddenly jolt and go 'ow!' because I would get a jab in the ribs. I assumed it was because my baby was getting bigger and taking up more space. I don't think you should worry about your ribcage not expanding enough.

It's all fun and games isn't it?!!

Yeah I get that alot when I sit and im 37 weeks pregnant but thats because the babys so big it is still in my ribcage (only on my right though which is a pain!) but thats totally normal because the baby has to lay sideways or itll be an awkward delivery lol
