23 was pregnant and weird pain under breast

So how to best describe this? I’ve now had 4 or 5 episodes of a sharp pain, like being punched hard, at the top left side of my belly, under my left breast. I would assume it’s where my ribs are?
The pain only lasts a second but leaves me breathless and shaky.
Twice it happened as I picked up my toddler. It feels a little like something is moving out of place and then immediately popping back into place.
Gp thinks it’s to do with baby’s movements and quite dismissive but I really doubt that as I don’t the feel any strong kicks yet and the pain is always in the exact same place.
Never had this with previous pregnancies and tbh freaks me out a bit. I’m also worried it’ll happen at work and me suddenly clutching my stomach and moaning is going to look weird... (I work with kids...)
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I've got this right now and I can only say it will the way baby is positioned. How far along are you?

Sorry just seen the title of your thread . I'm very tired today 🙈

Thanks for your reply.
Sorry, OP should have said 23 WEEKS pregnant.
I thought the baby’s is still quite small and nowhere near there yet.
Also, wouldn’t it make more sense then if the pain wasn’t always in the same place?

Is your BP OK? Have you mentioned to midwife? Could you have pulled something? Have you had a cough recently, as coughing a lot can pull a muscle/crack a rib.

Bp etc absolutely fine.
Quite a boring pregnancy actually, nothing to report :)
No cold etc...
It doesn’t hurt at all other then those times, so gives me quite a shock every time it happens. Only started a couple of days ago...

I started with sharp pains in my ribs under my right breast at 25 weeks, by 26 weeks it was constant& bad I went to the gp. Nothing obvious wrong but I was taking paracetamol regularly to try to manage it.

At 28 weeks I was scanned and baby was high & breech, she was basically sat right under my ribcage, it was so bloody sore, every time she moved it was like I was being stabbed with hot knife!

32 weeks now and she turned last week, now she's head down and I've got constant groin pain lol, can't win Grin

They're awkward buggers Wink

OH no I’m absolutely dreading the rest of this pregnancy now.
Every time it happens, I’m scared to move, bend down etc...
Been telling my toddler, sorry can’t pick you up darling :(
I feel like my body is just doing its own thing...
I can only hope things shift soon...
I hope it’s nothing serious...
