Pain In Sternum, Breasts Sore During Pregnancy. Is There Any Home Remedy?
Hi, I'm 37 yrs old and about 7 weeks pregnant. I'm 5'6" and weigh about 110.
Today I noticed pain in my sternum, right in the middle by the breastbone. It's tender to the touch- pain is much worse if put any pressure on that spot. I also feel a small knobby bump where the pain is.
Can this be from my body changing and my organs shifting around? I'm pretty small so there isn't much room. My breasts are really sore too and have grown almost a cup size in the last 2 weeks which may be the cause too? Thoughts?
Let me know if I should be concerned and if there are any home remedies (I can't take ibruprophen or anti inflammatories as I'm pregnant)
Right now I'm icing the spot, but should I be doing heat instead?
Thanks!!

in my opinion the changes of harmones during the pregnancy can cause this
there can be swelling allergies or other changes in changing season also
you can use hot massage anti allergic ointments and analgesic ointments on area
with little physiotherapy exercises can help
with lot of hot water and low proteins in diet
