Expanding Rib Cage???

mrs.nkcmrs.nkc
in 2nd Trimester

I've been having pains in my ribs, on both sides. I know your ribs expand while your pg, but when does that start? And is it suppose to be painful?  Most of the people I ask about it said it wasn't painful for them. Just curious ...

 TIA!

    I didn't notice it as painful with K, but it was gradual.  If it happened all at once I imagine it would be quite painful!  I think I had to use a bra extended by about 30-32 weeks with K.  So far I'm OK without it.

    I started getting pains under my ribs about 19 weeks.  It has gotten worse, but it's only when I've been sitting too long.  I stand and stretch my arms over head and that seems to help.  I asked my dr and she said it was just everything shifting inside.

    It was uncomfortable for me because I have a short torso and there was not much room left. It was right around 19/20 weeks. Then during week 22 - kaboom - major belly.

    My ribs expanded with my DD. It was the only part of my chest that grew. Went form a 34B to a 36B and never went back. Don't seem to have expanded further this time but was envious of all the posters durring the first trimester who went up in cup size.

    My ribs have expanded already. I used to be a 34 or 36 B.. now I'm on the loosest hook of my 38 C. It didn't hurt tho.
