Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the HCM.
Heartburn during pregnancy is very common. Over the counter antacid with simethicone may help. In more severe cases, Omeprazole 20 mg before breakfast may be taken. But, safety of this is yet to be clearly established and hence better to be avoided in the 1st trimester.
Please consult your gynecologist for the same. A whole abdomen ultrasound may be done to rule out gallstone too.
For any further information, please write back.

Dr. Kaushik
