Ribs seperating?

[mandalynn]

I have never heard anyone say anything like this but I was hoping it was normal. My ribs feel like they are seperating to get a larger rib cage. Please tell me I am not the only one!

Does it go back or does your rib cage get bigger and stay that way. Please tell me I am not alone!

Am I really the only one .

My spread too! I went up a band size in my bra and it never went back down after I had Lauren But it's not so bad, and I don't actually feel bigger there now but she was all crammed up in my ribs so it was pretty uncomfortable for about the last 3 months for me.

HTH!

I am now 22 wks and it seems to be getting worse. I went from a 32 bra to a 36 :eekeek: I am PRAYING that my rib cage goes back, I do not want to look barrel chested forever. The worst part is the constant aching. I don't get why I am having it so bad becuase I am carring very low.

Hmmm I have never heard of this before. Does going up a bra size really mean your rib cage is expanding. I went from a 36 to a 42 already but I thought it was just back fat. No pain so far. I am 21 weeks

Thank you ladies! I to am caring very low and I was thinking maybe all of my insides were being smushed up. Anyways thanks for making me feel like I am not alone!

My ribs definitely expanded after my first pregnancy...it does go down a bit but for me not all the way. Even though I lost all my weight and got down to my regular size (8) I could never zip up my wedding dress all the way again.

My ribs seem to be expanding now, too...hopefully they won't stay that way!
