Indigestion
Indigestion, also called dyspepsia, is a general term used for pain or discomfort after meals in the stomach region, and is associated with difficulty in digesting food. It can occur at any time, but is most common shortly after eating.

Heartburn in Pregnancy
Heartburn affects 19% of Australian adults1. It is a common symptom during pregnancy, estimated to occur in 30-50% of pregnancies.2
During pregnancy your body produces hormones that can slow down digestion and can cause the muscular valve between the oesophagus and the stomach to relax.
As a result, stomach acid is more likely to leak into the oesophagus and cause a burning pain in the chest and throat. The increasing pressure on your stomach as your baby grows can also force the acid into the oesophagus, causing heartburn.
Always talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medicine during pregnancy.
