Pain in ribs...?

I'm 23w 2days and over the last wk or so my ribs feel like they're being squeezed. Almost like I'm wearing a really tight corset....I heard that your ribs move to make room for the baby as they get bigger...is this what it's supposed to feel like? Even if I sit up straight the cramping / squeezing feeling is still there :-(

I usually take off my bra as soon as I get home, maybe I'll try a sports bra for during the day(?) Thanks for the advice :-)

I asked about this a few days ago, a helpful mommy to be told me try to go as often as you can without a bra. And so far it's helped me. It still hurts a little just not as much.

I thought maybe I was sitting slouchy all the time but it's so constant no matter what I do. Also, it makes it so hard to get comfortable in any position. I did notice that it's worse when I wear my belly band, I've been wearing normal yoga pants with the band and the cramps are almost unbearable I have to take it off
