Baby loves my ribs

Does anyone else have a problem with their baby wanting to be high up and right under your ribs?  It makes it so hard to sit up and breathe. I constantly have to push my son down because he keeps moving up.  I have also tried an ice pack on my ribs because I have noticed he hates when I put cold things near him be it a bottle of soda on my belly or an ice water. Any other tricks?

I'm just worried he's going to watch me like a hawk at school now. I don't think pregnancy makes me handicapped and hate when people act like I shouldn't even be picking up my laptop...

My grandpa has had to help me move him a couple times because it feels like he is pushing right back when I try to push him down. My grandpa was an entire reserve and volunteer firefighter when my mum was a baby so he has had to help me with moving my son when I can't do it because it hurts.

I have twins, and the girl moves up so high that I can't breathe. I was actually out at a bluegrass festival in my town this past weekend and it got so bad they had to send ems to me because I couldn't take anything besides shallow breaths and with the humidity it felt like I was getting nothing...and when they show up it's my vice principal (I'm a teacher) who is emt reserves...so embarrassing...
