A.Heartburn is a burning pain behind the lower breastbone that may radiate upward toward the neck. It may also include the sensation of food or liquid coming up into the throat or mouth (regurgitation), especially when bending over or lying down. These symptoms may be accompanied by a bitter or acid taste. Sort of like heartburn. Probably some reflux too. I have it terrible when pregnant. It is one of the worst symptoms for me. Everything relaxes in your body when pregnant and the valve at the top of your stomach can relax as well, or so I was told. Acidic foods can make it worse. I couldn't lie down after I ate for at least 2 hours. Elevating the head of your bed can help if you have problems at night.
