I'm a few weeks late on my period, and I've been having a lot of indigestion and heartburn, which is unusual for me. My friend mentioned she had bad indigestion when she was pregnant. Can indigestion be a sign of pregnancy?

Yes, progesterone slows down digestion, which causes bad acid reflux. But if your indigestion is accompanied by severe upper abdominal pain, please see your doctor as it could be a sign of blood pressure issues.

You can drink some warm fennel seed (saunf) water after meals, it helps a lot with pregnancy bloating. But if you have severe vomiting or can't keep any food down, please visit your doctor.

I have been having terrible heartburn and bloating since last week. Did anyone else get this as their first symptom even before their missed period?

It's absolutely normal because of the hormonal changes relaxing the stomach muscles. Tell your wife to sit upright for at least 30 minutes after eating and keep her hydrated. Take care.

Hey, don't stress too much! Indigestion is super common in pregnancy because of all the crazy hormones. Try eating smaller meals and avoiding spicy food at night.
