I am 20 weeks pregnant, and on my fourth child. I have been having very sharp chest pains that start between my breasts and move up toward my left shoulder. I have never experienced this before and am wondering if anyone has had this happen or if anyone knows whether this is normal. Thanks!!!!!

i always have sharp pains in my chest, and my doctor said it is totally normal. I have pains that start at the nipple and moves towards the shoulder. If you still are worried maybe go for a visit to you doctor.

Good luck
