Heartburn, also known as acid reflux or\u00a0Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), commonly accompanies a bun in the oven due to the hormonal changes in pregnancy and the increased abdominal pressure from an enlarging uterus.\u00a0 The extra stomach acid can worsen nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Additionally, stomach acid problems do not always manifest as a “burning pain climbing up your throat.” Especially during pregnancy, symptoms like decreased appetite, feeling full quickly, or feeling queasy can be related to excessive stomach acid.\u00a0When pregnant women avoid eating or drinking enough water because they do not feel good, this can lead to poor nutrition that may affect babies’ growth\u00a0 and put mothers at risk for fainting\/injury.<\/span><\/div>\n
