Yes heartburn is part of pregnancy..Gaviscon works well for me...They say avoiding spicy foods can help ..

saffy just you wait until you get to late 2nd tri/3rd tri! I've been suffering terrible indgestion for about 10 weeks now. its really common in pregnancy as your uterus is pushing up your other organs and so your stomach is squashed causing the heartburn.
Don't think there is much you can do to prevent it, but i try not to eat too many greasy or spicy foods as it alwayd seems worse after them.
I lived off rennies until i was prescribed peptac by the midwife ( ) it's horrible but takes the edge off the discomfort.
I bought ASDA antacid tablets the other day and they work better that rennie for me (sometimes i have to take 4-6 at a time its that bad) they were only about £1.50 for 80 tablets.
