Is Popping Sound Followed By Pain In Upper Abdomen Normal During Pregnancy?

I just had an odd popping sensation in my upper abdomen under my lower rib. I am about 22 weeks pregnant. I can t seem to find an explanation anywhere. It felt almost like an elastic band snap, and then had a sharp pain, but it went away. Now there is no pain, but I am wondering if this is normal. It felt a bit stronger than a kick.
