    It's likely just your rib cage shifting to make room for baby. How far along are you?

    There will be many adjustments throughout pregnancy, many little pains, sharp pains, some where you think the baby is trying to escape through your stomach. ;)

    If you're truly concerned than it's always a good idea to talk to your doctor to put your mind at ease. :)

    It's not so much moving as it is pressure.

    Here's a link that explains it a bit better.
