A member asked:
My sternum popped out while i was pregnant and hasn't gone back in, should i do something about this?

See your doctor: Sternum to get bigger during pregnancy is unheard of. Breast enlargement could be viewed as expansion of sternum. Whoever if is true sternal enlargement or prominency, you need at least an xray to make sure is not mass or tumor.

See a specialist.: You should see an orthopedic shoulder specialist, who sees problems associated with the clavicle/sternum.
