Oh, heartburn during pregnancy is very common! With my daughter, it started around the end of the first trimester and got quite bad in the third. What helped me was eating small, frequent meals and avoiding anything too spicy or acidic. Also, don't lie down right after eating.

Heartburn can begin at any stage of pregnancy, sometimes even in the first trimester. It's often due to hormonal changes and pressure from the growing uterus.

Heartburn in pregnancy is pretty common. It can start in the first trimester but usually gets more noticeable later. Small, frequent meals definitely help. And if your doctor allows, light walking after meals can also aid digestion and might ease the discomfort, like a gentle cool-down after a workout.
From a practical standpoint, heartburn can surface early in pregnancy, even in the first trimester, and typically intensifies as the pregnancy progresses. The key is to manage it proactively: smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods, and not eating close to bedtime. Discussing safe antacids with your doctor is a time-saver.
