Chest pain

I've been having really bad chest pain all night I can't sleep because of it. It's so hard to breath it feels like a stabbing pain I'm 32+3 weeks I've been trying to wait till my doctors office opens but is getting worst I have never in my life had pain like this and it's starting to scare me. Has anyone else experienced pain like this.

I have horrendous heart burn normally and would always take Gaviscon, but that was pre pregnancy. If it is safe to take, I highly recommend it.

Maybe it is just really bad heart burn I will try some of y'all suggestions and see if it helps because I really hate going to the hospital. I've just never had pain like this and it's scaring me.

Yeah i thought heartburn would be a pain you could deal with.. TILL IT HIT ME AT 5AM! I thought i was dieing... the pain was so bad i couldnt stop crying... It really really hurts... some people actually go to hospital from it and get told oh its only heartburn.. and ho home..  it seriously can hurt that much... my remide. is to have 2 big gulps of gaviscon, to sip ice cold milk while watching something on tv your intrested in so u can focus on it and have your partner rub your back as you lean over the bed or footstool... Good luck xx

It's not heartburn I have heartburn all day everyday but this is a different pain. I dont have a 24hr nurse to call but I called l&d they told me to go in to be checked out.

I had such bad heart burn I thought I was having a heart attack no joke it was increadible how painful it was. I took 1/2 t of baking soda in warm water (completely dissolved) chug it down. It helped me! If you have neasuea, dizziness, you notice your moods changed then head to ER. heart attacks in women present different to men. Butyou can experience pain in left arm, feels like a truck on your chest as well. Also excessive sweats. Try to get rid of heart burn first and if it continues then go to ER.. not L&D.

Call l&d or just go to the er. If its getting worse than don't wait til your Dr office opens. It could be something super serious. I'd get checked out just in case.
