Has anyone experienced a sharp shooting pain in the chest during pregnancy? I'm 33 weeks and had some light pain in the chest last week but today it got worst. I don't have any shortness of breath or any other symptoms. I have been doing some reading online and it seems to be heartburn related. Should I be really concerned? Has anyone gone through something similar?

I had heartburn - sometimes painful and sometimes it felt as if my throat and chest was on fire!!! GAVISCON! Albeit, only soothed for while, it is safe during pregnancy and you can drink as much as you want :D Not sure if this is what you have, but very well sounds like it :( And if it is, it will go as quickly as it came once you little one is born ;) ETA: If it is heartburn, Laban also helps! I drank loads and loads of the stuff! Especially at night just before going to bed as this was always when it was at it worse <em>edited by plumie on 13/01/2011</em>
