Hi hun.. aww sorry to hear you're feeling uncomfortable. You are prob feeling pain at the ribs area because The growing fetus often causes aches and pains around the ribs due to their position in the womb. I had this through out my 2nd pregnancy. What helped me was some stretching. Do note rib pain during pregnancy vary by trimester. If it really bothers you, just ask your obgyn to make sure everything is ok. Here are some links to videos on stretches you can do during pregnancy. https://youtu.be/HcQjNsOrqjQ
