Heartburn is partly caused by hormonal changes and then later, by the growing baby pressing on your stomach. Heartburn is a burning feeling in your chest, accompanied by a bitter taste of fluid in the mouth. It will help to: eat small meals more frequently and slowly; avoid fatty, fried or spicy food; sleep semi-upright, well supported by plenty of pillows; and avoid drinking with meals. If these measures don’t help, your doctor may prescribe an antacid.
