Soreness underneath sternum?

Question

I'm not really sure how to even describe this. I have a soreness underneath my sternum...like the top part of where my belly begins. It's almost like it's bruised from the inside. I'm not sure if it's his feet poking out or what. Anybody have anything like this???

Answer

Mine is more to the left but same general area. Started getting it toward the end of the second trimester and Dr said it's because there are organs squished in places there normally wouldn't be. It started as more of a tingly sensation back then and now it's a full on pain at times. He advised icing the area if it hurts too much. Haven't gone that far yet.

Answer

For me it's his little strong feet. Lol. Yay.

Answer

I definitely get some sensitive spots and I think it's just the way baby is positioned and how much pressure she is putting on tummy. It stinks because my two year old likes to sit in momma's lap and sometimes when she leans back I jump
Because it hurts...

Answer

Yes, you described it perfectly. I'm 34 weeks today with my first! I can tell I'm starting to drop though.

Answer

I'm 34 weeks and feel like the whole top of my belly is bruised. So painful!

Answer

Yes!  My gal is so high up. By the end of the day my chest and ribs are killing me.

Answer

It gets better when they start to drop. At least, that pain does!

Answer

When I first started getting rib pain it felt sort of like this... An achiness almost. It has progressively gotten worse over the course of my pregnancy and is now an almost constant stabbing pain (I'm almost 38 weeks). It's seriously horrendous. Sometimes I want to cry. I've seen a chiropractor, which did help for some time- but I think at this point he's just a big baby! And I'm a tiny person! We are running out of room to share 🤔
