    Dr. Kenneth S. Larsen of Intermountain Healthcare answered:
    Heartburn is a common complaint in a pregnant patient. It results from reflux, in other words, acid refluxing from the stomach up into the esophagus because of hormones and because of the baby enlarging and pushing up on the stomach.
