Since having my son, i can push one of my bottom ribs in a tiny bit and then it pops out. it sounds like a popping noise.no pain.what is this?

Floating rib: You are possibly pushing on your bottom rib, a so-called floating rib. Because it is not directly anchored to the breastbone it sometimes can be more mobile than your other ribs.
