What might cause chest pains during pregnancy?

Answer 1

I am not a physician but I have had this problem. I was almost four months pregnant before I knew it because I had a period ALL NINE MONTHS! My doctor said that it wasn't common but not unheard of. He said it was probably because of my age (38) when I got pregnant and also that I was on a strong anti-biotic while taking "the pill." I would definitely talk with your doctor. It didn't have any effect on the birth of my daughter which we now refer to as our "miracle baby." I would visit a doctor immediately to find out why are you bleeding. Implantation Bleeding only occurs a week after conception, but low placenta's can cause bleeding so a lot of rest, no lifting and no exercise is recommended. If you are very early into the pregnancy then you may be lacking progesterone, doctors can provide you with medication which is safe to take whilst pregnant.

Every women is different some women have periods while pregnant and not even know . you could go to the doctors and have a blood test to find out if your pregnant. I had Implantation bleeding 2 weeks after got my period I could be pregnant but instead I just ignore it my period pattern have change ever since I had implantation bleeding as well . Some women have periods in the first few months in pregnancy or throughout pregnancy

Hi,

Yes it could indeed be heartburn,indegestion or trapped wind (burp) if in doubt though always seek medical advise.

Above is the former person's answer, however, I was just in the hospital with chest pain and I am 25 weeks. I was told it was due to an inflammation of the lining in my lungs. I was given ibuprofen for three days, however, you SHOULD NOT take Ibuprofen unless you are under the care of a medical professional. It is extremely dangerous if not monitored, but to ease your mind, I thought I would share my experience. Hope you feel better. : )

Answer 3

Chest pain during pregnancy could be caused by the fetus pushing up into the mothers body, the body positioning of the fetus, or maybe you just ate too much bread and pasta like I did for dinner.

Answer 4

Chest pain is never normal. When someone complains of chest pain they need to seek immediate medical attention. Normally, a physician starts with an ECG and a chest X-ray as these are the easiest modalities to rule out certain heart and lung related conditions.

Answer 5

Chest pain is NEVER normal... You should get to a Doctor as soon as possible. There are lots of really simple explainations for it and some much more serious ones... I've read things like Gas, Gall Bladder issues, Pulmonary Embolism (this one can kill you) etc... I don't know why anyone would ever suggest that chest pain is a normal symptom of pregnancy... Good luck.

Answer 6

Good lord no chest pains are more indicative of heart, problem, breathing, broken rib, blunt force trauma, even an extremely emotional event. PREGNANCY is not what i would diagnose a pain in the chest... more like weight gain, a protrusion in the belly area, of course pregnancy test, pains emmanating from your chest area is something to keep aware of another type of issue, if it keeps paining you , you SHOULD SEEK MEDICAL advice FROM A PROFESSIONAL ! rest assured pregnancy AND pains from your chest ?, nope Not related.

Answer 7

Chest pain is not a sign of pregnancy but should be checked by a doctor.

Breast tenderness (pain) is often one of the first signs of pregnancy.

Answer 8

If you're pregnant and having chest pains, you should seek medical attention immediately.

Answer 9

I think it can give you heart burn if ur pregnent, but the most likely symtom is if ur nipples are really brown.
