Heartburn during pregnancy?
Causes &
Symptoms
What causes heartburn during pregnancy? Well, there are usually two main reasons you’re suffering:
- Hormones released in pregnancy relax the muscles that normally keep stomach acid down.
- As your bump grows, it puts increasing pressure on your oesophagus, making it more likely for heartburn to occur.
Heartburn during pregnancy may cause these symptoms:
- A bloated feeling
- Burning/pain in the chest area
- Burping
- Bringing up food
- Feeling sick, or vomiting
FAQs
Treatment
Heartburn during pregnancy, there are safe and effective treatments for it.

You can also look to make lifestyle changes. Consider:
- Eating small meals rather than three big portions a day
- Watching your posture (a straight, upright back is good, especially when eating)
