Tightness in chest with uterine contraction

Published

I am currently 36 weeks pregnant and wondering if it is normal for my chest to tighten up with each contraction. My pulse starts to race as well. With all that together I start to feel light headed. I do not remember this with my last three pregnancies. This has just started within the last two days. Any advice would be appreciated.

This is a nursing message board. Terms of service clearly state that we don't give medical advice. If you are 36 weeks along I am assuming you have an OB. You should call him/her for advice.

Our Terms of Service don't allow us to dispense medical advice. We do encourage you to check with your obstetrician for any questions you may have, and we wish you well with the remainder of your pregnancy. Thanks. :)
