    You put your question under pregnancy, so assuming you are pregnant with heartburn. Yes, it can feel like that but you don't have to suffer with it. You have to adjust your diet. You are probably trying to eat everything you ate when not pregnant and that little being inside is objecting to it.

    Adjust your diet, and I am sure you will hear from our resident expert Doula.

    Take are and enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible and look forward to a new being in your life.

    It can for some women, it might also be due to your gallbadder which can act up in pregnancy as well.
    Try the usual for heartburn and see if you get some relief:

    *graze throughout the day instead of eating large meals
    *try not to eat the last few hours before you go to bed
    *for some women just an extra glass of milk helps
    *ask your doctor/midwife about one of the over-the-counter medications for heartburn (Tums and Gaviscon are popular choices, but any medication should only be taken as needed. Too much, for too long, can cause other possible problems)
    *prop yourself up at night so that you aren't lying flat
    *avoid foods you know might cause you problems

    If you don't experience some relief, or the pain gets worse, let your doctor or midwife know.

    For others the lactic acid can cause it to get worse.

    Mylanta is approved for use during pregnancy. It works wonders!
