I gone to hospital they took out some blood for testing to see if everything was fine and although im pregnant they still did a xray to check my lungs. The doctor said everything was fine wit my blood heart and lungs. My xray was also fine. I went to my doctor cause my pain was still there he went over the testing that were done. He agree that im fine so he check me and said i have my muscles tenes. Today i notice the pain in my chest was more in my bone and im also haveing pain in my back can that be the cause and where should i go

The cartilage around your chest bone can cause pain in the middle of your chest. That's the cartilage that connects the chest bone to the ribs. You might want to ask your Dr about  costochondritis causing any chest pain. It's very common. It's basically spasms with the cartilage that joins the chest bone with the rib cage. Some people mistake it for heart problems. It's harmless. It comes and goes. Exercise your chest and stretching movements in your chest can help with it sometimes.

Also, you may ask about getting an MRI to see if any back discs are pushing against a nerve. X-rays will not show that kind of thing. Only an MRI.

I had this exact thing happen to me with all three of my children. Oddly enough it turned out to be heartburn. After i brought up the possibilty that it could be something this simple i was diagnosed with acid reflux. I know during pregnancy Tums are safe to take however i do not know if any others are. i would check with a pharmacist or call your doctor to find out what over the counter heartburn meds you can take. i hope this helps and i hope you feel better soon. good luck with the new baby :)
