Call your OB: You need to call your OB. If you are having any shortness of breath, you need to go to the emergency room ASAP. During pregnancy and for a couple of months afterwards, your blood clotting factors are elevated, putting you at risk for a clot. If you have shortness of breath with the pain, up you could have a pulmonary embolus. More than likely it's nothing serious, like a pulled muscle, but check.
