I have a weird pregnancy symptom

Can anyone tell me what this is?

When I exhale, I feel a popping, tapping sensation in the centre of my chest, sort of just below or right at the bottom of my breastbone. One tap per breath.

What on earth is going on in there? Confused

It'll be a symptom of your ribs flaring with the pregnancy. The ribs join your sternum (breastbone) and the joints are being adjusted to new angles. Clicks and pops and a bit of pain are par for the course, I'm afraid.

Why are my ribs moving now? I'm not even two months pregnant yet.

I think maybe when you have a four year gap, you forget somewhat what pregnancy is about. It does entail all sorts of strange body things doesn't it?
Eek.

I've just discovered that my eyelashes have lost 2/3 of their length. Weird, weird, weird.

I have had a strange popping feeling in my lower left back, just at my waist. As if it's a muscle spasm, but no pain & happens mostly when lying down / sitting. Very odd!
Only 9 weeks so I can't be feeling anything yet. Hmmm
