Heart attacks and lung blood clots in us older mums-to-be are more common so if you get it again I'd go straight to hospital.

Oh wow, I would be on my way to the emergency room but that's me. I'm an EMT and if ever we got called out for something like that we would highly recommend you go. Why risk it?

I've had something like that happen once, I fell asleep with both if my arms in front of me and my top shoulder fell forward while I was asleep. When I woke up I had bad chest pain but it was from me squishing my own sternum and breast bone. It hurt pretty bad and took a few minutes before I could take a deep breath. I hope that is all it was, chest pain is scary :/

Well I called l&d and told her about but she said she'd talk to an on call doctor and all what I should do. Otherwise she said of she didn't get back to me that if it happened again to go in. I don't know if it was a contraction or what but it went on for maybe 5 minutes then as soon as my fiance got on the phone it went away And I haven't had it yet thank goodness but now my baby wont stop moving
