Early Pregnancy Symptoms Heartburn
Q: Is it possible to have early pregnancy symptom of heartburn in the first week?
Okay, I have (1) child and i knew within a month into the pregnancy I was expecting because my body changed so drastically, BUT i think i may be now (hope i may be), and if i am pregnant i know exactly when it happened :) ,,,,, 8 days ago. My question is...for the past 3 -4 days i have constant heart burn, no matter what I eat/drink and My breast feel "heavier/fuller" (if that makes sense) but aren't sore and everything i have read says they should feel sore. So,is it possible to have heart burn as a pregnancy symptom THIS early or am I just losing it?
Can anyone in the group help me please?
A:well you could be pregnant obviously it is too early to tell. I think that you are so in tune to your body right now becaue you want to be pregnant.
I don't think you are losing it. Every pregnancy for every woman can be very different. My first baby, I had heartburn for at least 8 1/2 months (BAD). My second, I couldn't wear my jeans after the first week of pregnancy
Technically, the hormones that cause the esophagous to relax and therefore cause heartburn (acid reflux) aren't anywhere near the levels at this time. It is POSSIBLE to have heartburn of course...but the odds of it being an actual symptom of pregnancy are VERY slim medically speaking (well, anatomically speaking...I learned this in my anatomy class this past month...)
