I am 21 and recently found out I am pregnant, my appt. Isn't for another mo. I get chest pains off and on, on my left side and it feels like my heart. Its not a sharp pain, but a aching pain. Is this normal?

I dont think its much to worry about. Its just a little heart burn that you experience during pregnancy even if you never got heartburn before. When my sister was pregnant she had the same thing. But she was fine. You also might want to check for other symptoms though, swelling of the feet, headaches, blurry vision...That is not good.If you get that I suggest you see a doctor right away. Bot if not, maybe some tums are ok for pregnancy, ask your doctor. Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy!
