'Splitting' abs

I am 24+6 and for the last month or so I have been experiencing searing hot 'splitting' pain at the top of my tummy/under my rib cage. I had thought it was related to my bra being too tight, but a soft ridge has appeared - a good couple of inches wide all the way down to my belly button. I have a feeling this is simply my tum splitting to accomodate my ever-growing bump. But it flipping hurts and I read somewhere that pain under the ribs can indicate hypermesis (I think that's the one?). It's been bad enough to wake me in the night and I've had to pop a couple of paracentemol.

I know that I should speak to my midwife/GP, but I missed my appt. If anyone can share experience or help, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks :)
