If you are pregnant and you have indigestion (dyspepsia), your symptoms will be the same as those of anyone else with the condition.
The main symptom of indigestion is pain or a feeling of discomfort in your chest or stomach. This usually happens soon after eating or drinking, but there can sometimes be a delay between eating a meal and developing indigestion.
You may experience indigestion at any point during your pregnancy, although your symptoms may be more frequent and severe during your third trimester (from week 27 until the birth of the baby).
As well as pain, indigestion may cause:
- a burning sensation
- feeling uncomfortably full or heavy
- belching (burping)
- regurgitation (food coming back up from the stomach)
- bloating
- nausea (feeling sick)
- vomiting (being sick)
