So the other day I suddenly started having chest pains on one side. It was so horrible, I thought for sure I was having a heart attack. Anyways I got upstairs and alerted my parents to my emergency and they started laughing and said. "'sounds like you have heartburn" it was really embarrassing so I just shrugged it off and said "can't be too careful" it was really bad though. I've never had pain like that before so. Embarassed

It could have also been the baby's foot caught in your ribs or something...

my sister got a prescription from her doctor for heartburn,I'll ask her in the morning what it is called and post it.
She said it was amazing,she was getting heartburn from anything and everything,she got these pills and she was able to eat whatever she wanted with no heart burn at all!
Definately go ask your doctor about heartburn remedies.
I know for me that by the end of my pregnancy I was getting heartburn from the tums!I got heartburn just from breathing,it was horrible I wish I knew about these pills.
(she calls them the 'wonder drug'!)
