What Can Cause Sharp Pain In The Sternum?
I am 35 weeks 3 days pregnant and for the past week with any quick movement like turning around or getting up I get a sharp pain in my sternum. Not sure if it is the baby causing it, the size of my belly or what. It lasts for about a minute and then goes away and when i touch it feels like a bruise for a little while

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be due to calcium & Vitamin D deficiency.
Belly size, size of the baby may contribute to it.
In pregnancy demand of nutrients is increased -for development of fetus.
Calcium 500 mg daily with a glass of milk & Vitamin D injection every week for 3 weeks should relieve.
Thanks.
