hi the chest pain is caused due to heartburn which occurs due to oesophageal spasm due to acid reflux. this is seen in extreme acidity and increased in pregnancy due to sphincter relaxation effect of progestrone.you can take syrup sucralfate 2 tsf thrice day for 3 days in case of heart burn. for acidity avoid oily spicy food and eat small frequent meals. you can take tab pantop 40 mg twice a day for acidity.and yes the red coloured vomitus is due to blood mixed in vomitus which occurs in extreme acidity when there is esophagel erosion . don't worry take above measures and you will be fine. all the best take care
