Heartburn and Pregnancy
Research any magazine, website and pregnancy book and you are guaranteed to read about nausea and pregnancy. What may come as a surprise to many pregnant women is the onset of heartburn during the second and third trimesters and how common it is. Heartburn and pregnancy is as prevalent as nausea and pregnancy.
Heartburn and pregnancy go hand in hand because hormones like progesterone increase while pregnant causing the valve between the esophagus and stomach to relax. This allows easy access for stomach acids to seep back into the esophagus causing a burning sensation. A growing baby is also putting pressure on the stomach, increasing chances that stomach acids will come back up into the esophagus.
While heartburn is more likely to occur while pregnant due to the increase in hormones and the pressure from the growing baby, it is still caused by the same factors. Greasy, fried and spicy foods should be avoided as they will increase the chances of heartburn. Other foods such as caffeinated beverages, chocolate and acidic foods may also bring on heartburn during pregnancy and should be avoided if possible.
While it may be possible to avoid all of the trigger foods, heartburn during pregnancy may occur nonetheless and finding a safe remedy is important. Choosing heartburn relief geared towards pregnancy is always a good idea since these products will contain only the safest ingredients for mother and baby while pleasing the sensitive pregnancy palate.
