It is now 2015, this means your baby was born sometime around August 11th 2012. Epigastric upset is common during pregnancy and the most frequent cause is GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease) with or without esophageal spasm (this is uncommon) and increased gastric emptying time. Most patients will control symptoms using local acting antacids like Maalox/Gaviscon and having frequent light small meals passed with water; eventually some will need gastric protectors such as lansoprazole/pantoprazoleb or ranitidine. Other causes of epigastric pain may be serious but they are rarely seen (Hepatitis, Pancreatitis..) Preeclampsia, the severe form, is a known cause of epigastric pain but this is seen after 20 weeks of pregnancy. In short, there is nothing wrong with your pregnancy.
