Question: I have very bad heartburn, I'm 16 weeks pregnant. My throat hurts very bad and I'm nauseous all day long. I have pain in between my breast bone and In my stomach. Dr said is normal but I think is too much pain for being pregnant. Could it be something else?

Your doctor opinion is right, it is due to gastritis and reflux oesophagitis caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy.
So do not take any stress, it will increase your problem.
You should drink a lot of water, dry toast in the morning and diet which is non spicy and non oily food.
You can take doxinate plus after consulting your treating doctor and digene syp.to relieve your symptoms.
Hopefully it found useful, feel free to discuss more.
Good luck and enjoy your safe and happy motherhood.
