I'm 15wks pregnant and I feel like my lungs and stomache are all pushed under my ribs I also get a sharp pain under my rib cage. I dont know if its normal to get that feeling or if its just due to me being petite (im 4'11) and my organs not having any room as the baby is growing so it all just gets pushed up.

I'm 5'1" and had that feeling too! Some people said it was too early on, but since we're small, I think it's more likely to happen. I would often end up gasping for breath. But now I'm in my 32nd week and it hasn't gotten that much worse (but every pregnancy is different!). Try massaging that area. It might just be gas that's trapped in there. Are you drinking enough water? That helped me whenever I felt uncomfortable. Good luck and congrats!

Ooooh you poor thing! I'm only 5' 3" and felt the same way as you. By my 8th month, I was ready to pop. I could barely walk. Luckily, I had my baby a month early. I don't think I could have grown one more inch!
Sorry, but it's only going to get worse! It's very uncomfortable, I know! Hang in there! You are growing a new person inside you!

I'm also 15 weeks pregnant Ive not experienced any sharp pains, which you might want to see your doctor about, but I am feeling like everything has moved up and getting pressed out of where it normally sits. making me feel uncomfortable however Any sharp pains in pregnancy should be investigated by a professional but it sounds like stretching pains to me.

It is perfectly normal! If it bothers you too much, talk to your Dr about it, they can help reassure you further. There probably isn't a question your Dr has never heard before, so don't be afraid to talk to him/her!
