Sharp pains near rib cage?

rinne129

I'm 36+ weeks and just yesterday started getting sharp pains right under/beneath my rib cage. Should I be concerned? They feel kind of like breathing cramps (I was a competitive swimmer and they're similar to the cramps I'd get if I was breathing to much to my right side if anyone else is familiar with that!), but I'm not having trouble breathing anymore... in fact I think baby has dropped quite a bit over the last week because my hips are excruciating!

Any idea what this could be? My only thought is that it's literally bruised ribs from this dear child of mine beating up on me so forcefully.
