Hello!
You shouldnt be worried because this is normal .
This pain is from the expansion of rib cage from the baby .
Heart beats are more often because when the contraction occur the space inside the uterus reduced and the fetus goes up press the diaphragma and then heart .
Take care for your self and be happy for being mother for weeks to days
