Heartburn is not commonly listed as one of the signs of early pregnancy, it’s usually a symptom of later pregnancy caused by the baby pushing on your diaphragm.  Every woman is different, meaning early pregnancy symptoms can be different between women. Heartburn can be caused by other factors so it’s important to get it checked by a healthcare professional.
