Sternum pain?

The past week or so I've had sternum pain.  It sort of feels like bruising when I touch it (like the day after an intense ab workout).  

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm planning on mentioning it at my appt later this week, but it seems to be getting more noticeable/irritating.

For the record- I have a short torso, so I kind of assume it's because all my innards are just being pushed up and the muscles are being strained.

    Girl! I was just about to post about this. It's driving me nuts!! It hurts really bad when I cough or sneeze and when I lay on my side. My dr said it could likely be because my boobs have gotten bigger, do they're tender at their insertion points. Like you though, I thought it was bc I had a really short torso. For both our sakes, I just hope it gets better!

    I have the same problem and my dr said it was normal.

    I am 35 weeks pregnant and it seems like the pain in the sternum keeps getting worse. It feels as if a knife is jabbing at it. I keep expecting a bruise to pop up but it hasn't yet. I have a very short torso so I just wanted to make sure it was normal. I am glad it isn't just me that has this pain and hopes it goes away soon.
