A member asked:

Is it normal to have left chest pain when your 31 weeks pregnant? it's a constant pain, but when i take a deep breath and breathe in it hurts worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not normal: You're describing pleurisy. You should see your doctor for this. While it may be muscular, pneumonia and pericarditis are more serious causes that should be ruled out.
