Petite and pregnant challenges =(

Petite pregnant mummies, how do you overcome the challenges of pregnancy due to being small? I have a narrow (like 62cm narrow) and long ribcage (thus a very small torso) and only at 20 weeks, I'm already looking very pregnant. Not only that, but I feel like my ribcage is constantly stabbing into my organs, causing regular pain. I constantly feel ribcage pain, esp on my right rib, sometimes I even suspect that it may actually be my baby pushing its leg strongly on my rib because it has no space. I feel like I constantly have to sit straight and cannot hunch and its making my back very tired. Even when I'm sitting extremely straight, it still feels like my organs are being stabbed into. 😭 how am I going to survive another 20 weeks of this? Help. #advicepls #pleasehelp #firsttimemom #firstbaby #FTM #petite #pain
