Chest pain

I woke up at about 4 in the morning with horrible chest pain right between my boobs and was up for at least 2 hours. It felt like my breast plate was ripping apart while simultaneously sinking in, making it hard to breathe. I found that it didn't hurt as bad while I was sitting up as it did when I was lying down. Googled it and it seems to be either heartburn from hell or my rib cage expanding to make room for the baby and organs.  Has anyone else experienced this??

I know exactly how you feel, I felt the same exact way and I woke up with that pain around 3am. Luckily I had an Ob appointment the next day and she told me it's indigestion.she said your going to feel like your going to die (bc that's how I felt) many days but it is indigestion. It was the worse pain I've ever felt in my life but that's the answer I received. Only happened twice this pregnancy and I'm hoping that's it! Lol

I've been having heartburn and indigestion a lot lately. Drink some cold milk or either eat a tablespoon of mustard and it'll go away. It did for me
