Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query.I understand your concerns.

Heartburn is quite common in pregnancy.More than half of the pregnant women experience this.
It is a burning sensation of the esophagus caused by stomach contents that reflux from the stomach.Pregnancy hormones will cause the lower esophageal sphincter to relax, allowing stomach acids to splash back up into the esophagus.
Follow these steps to reduce heartburn.
1. Eat several small meals each day instead of three large ones.
2.Avoid fried, spicy, or rich foods
3.Don't lie down directly after eating.
4.Keep the head of your bed higher than the foot of your bed.

Hope this helps you.
Thank you
