A member asked:

28 weeks pregnant with chest pains, hot flashes and hardening of stomach (feels like contractions). what could be the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get evaluated now!: Your symptoms are worrisome. You should go to the hospital and be evaluated. Most hospitals have a "triage" area connected to the Labor and Delivery unit for pregnant women with these kind of symptoms so you don't have to go the ER. You may be in Pre-term labor. You need to be evaluated right away! Best wishes!
