:Heartburn during pregnancy

Heartburn is a common complaint during pregnancy. Although it has nothing to do with the heart, it involves a burning sensation in the centre of the chest

:Causes of heartburn during pregnancy

 Heartburn occurs when the valve between the oesophagus and the stomach are not able to prevent stomach acid from passing back into the oesophagus. During pregnancy, the progesterone hormone causes the valve to relax which increase  the frequency of heartburn. This allows stomach acid to pass into the oesophagus and irritate the lining
 The growing uterus puts pressure on the intestine and stomach especially in the third trimester which may also push the contents of the stomach back up into the oesophagus

:Treatment of heartburn during pregnancy

Eat five to six smaller meals throughout the day rather than three large meals
 Wait an hour after eating to lie down
 Avoid spicy, greasy and fatty foods
 Eat yogurt or drink a glass of milk
Medications: antacid may be helpful in relieving the symptoms but do not take them without speaking to your healthcare provider
