Sore Chest Bone

[aasthankur]

I am 28 weeks pregnant and have been feeling weak for a few days. I got my hemoglobin checked and it is 10.2. Since yesterday I am having sore chest bone. I tried all positions to feel comfortable but none was helpful. Even while breathing my chest bone pains. How seriously I need to take this.. please suggest!

Is it from the baby pushing on it.
I used to get terrible pains in my sternum from my first baby pushing up against it. I'm short and my sternum is short compared to my legs so there wasn't really lots of room.
The bad news - my rib cage actually changed shape and to this day my sternum sits a tiny bit to the left and has a funny nobbly bit at the bottom.

I got some relief by stretching and doing back bends but the second I sat again it hurt again.

Thanks Zazou! but I don't think it is due to baby pushing though I have not seen the doc yet, but as per few threads I read and few blogs normally the pain caused by the uterus position or baby push is in the right side of the cage and just below the bra line. But the pain I am experiencing is between my breasts. Any idea what could be the reason..?

Prob best you get any chest pain associated with weakness checked out as soon as possible

I would get it check ASAP.

Have you been coughing or vomiting a lot recently? It can cause chest pain as well.
