Reasons for heartburn during pregnancy:


There are many reasons for occurrence of heartburn during pregnancy.

  • The person may already be prone to acid indigestion and heartburn due to the food habits and other lifestyle habits.
  • Pregnant women are more prone to heartburn. There is more possibility of pregnancy heartburn occuring because of the pregnancy hormones (progesterone).
  • These hormones have an effect on the LES (lower esophageal sphincter)valve. The pregnancy hormones relax the valve and as a result the valve opens and the acid backs up in the esophagus to give the burning sensation in the chest and sour taste in the throat which are a few of heartburn symptoms.

    Heartburn is one of the symptoms of Indigestion. The hormones also slow down the digestion of the food.
