Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the chest pain might be due to gastritis which is routinely seen in pregnancy.The pain under ribs might be muscular in origin.Some type of non specific pains might be seen in pregnancy.They might subside spontaneously.Take antacids and avoid spicy and oily diet for gastritis.Take panadol for pain.Dont worry.
