HeartburnHeartburn is the given to the burning feeling or heat that begins in your chest and rises upwards to the throat. In most cases, the burning sensation is due to stomach acid irritating the unprotected oesophagus. Heartburn usually happens after meals, when you go to bed or during the night, and can last for several hours or more. What are the symptoms of Heartburn? ~ A burning sensation in your chest or throat after eating ~ A hot sour or salty tasting fluid in the back of your throat and difficulty swallowing ~ Pressure behind the breastbone ~ Feeling bloated ~ Needing to burp ~ Feeling sick What causes Heartburn? ~ Fried or Greasy foods ~ Spicy Foods ~ Being overweight ~ Stress |
IndigestionIndigestion, also known as dyspepsia, is general term for pain or discomfort felt after meals in the stomach region, associated with difficulty in digesting food. It can strike at any time, but is most common shortly after eating. The discomfort or pain of indigestion can range from mild to severe and can last for a few minutes to several unhappy hours. Signs and Symptoms of Indigestion are: What causes Indigestion? ~ Eating heavy meals ~ Drinking Alcohol ~ Smoking ~ A busy stressful lifestyle |
Trapped WindTrapped wind is a very common condition causing pain or discomfort around the digestive system, usually due to a build up of pressure in your stomach or abdomen. You can suffer from trapped wind in different parts of your digestive system, causing a range of symptoms including a bloated stomach, bloated abdomen, burping and flatulence. Some people pass wind only a few times a day, others a lot more, but the average is said to be about 5 to 15 times a day. Common symptoms of trapped wind are: ~ A bloated stomach or abdomen ~ Flatulence ~ Needing to burp What causes Trapped Wind? ~ High Fibre Foods ~ Fizzy Drinks ~ Dairy Foods ~ Carbohydrates |
Heartburn in PregnancyHeartburn is very common during pregnancy especially during the third trimester. Heartburn affects 22% of women in the first trimester, 39% in the second and 72% in the last. This is because during pregnancy your body produces hormones that can slow down digestion and can cause the muscular valve between the oesophagus and the stomach to relax. As a result, stomach acid is more likely to leak into the oesophagus and cause a burning pain in the chest and throat. The increasing pressure on your stomach as your baby grows can also force the acid into the oesophagus. Don’t worry, it does not harm the baby, but it can be extremely uncomfortable. |
Tips & Advice
Heartburn Triggers: Simple Swaps to Stop the Burn
Spicy foods such as curries and spices like cayenne, nutmeg and cinnamon are well known to induce heartburn. Try replacing them with herbs like basil, oregano, thyme and ginger.
Citrus Fruits & Juices such as Lemons, oranges and tomatoes are highly acidic. Replacing acidic drinks with plain water or a heavily diluted squash may help you avoid heartburn.
Fried food is a common heartburn trigger due to the high levels of fat. Try baking, grilling, poaching or roasting your food to reduce your risk of heartburn.

Simple Snacks to Enjoy While You’re Pregnant
Hot baked potatoes are simple to cook and are a great comfort food. Potatoes contain vitamin C which can help to combat iron deficiency, and the skin contains fibre which helps the digestive system.
Crispbread has a reputation as being dull but, if you add a little mashed avocado as a topping then it’s a tasty and nutritious snack which is full of ‘good’ monounsaturated fat. Avocado is also high in potassium, which can help with muscle cramps that can be common in pregnancy.
An egg and an English muffin may not sound like the healthiest snack, but trust us on this.
