Pregnancy And Acid Reflux

[marte saim]

For most women, pregnancy and heartburn go hand-in-hand. Most Optimal Stackwomen just assume that heartburn is just another one of those random symptoms of pregnancy, but there’s actually a scientific reason for the increase in acid reflux. Your placenta produces progesterone which relaxes the muscles of the uterus. This hormone serves as a relaxer for other parts of the body as well, including the valve located between the stomach and esophagus. Since it’s more relaxed than usual, it allows acid from the stomach to return back up to the esophagus, causing a burning sensation.
