Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
The heartburn is normal during pregnancy. It can also be a symptom of a larger problem called preeclampsia, so if your blood pressure has been an issue, you should contact your doctor. The other things you are describing are probably related to changes in your cervix. If you are having regular contractions or tightening of your belly, then contact your doctor now.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
