After reading several horror stories on here about heartburn and indigestion, this was one of the pregnancy symptoms I was dreading the most. But, I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow and so far I haven't had a single sign of it...not even a little. Last night I had a big bowl of spaghetti and meat sauce and nada! So do you think I'm in the clear?
Did anyone start experiencing heartburn/indigestion after 31 weeks with no sign of it before then?
ETA: I am really hoping this post doesn't jinx me!

Never say never . . . your LO has a bit of growing left to do, and it may lead to indigestion/HB. I got mine at the end.

I didn't have heartburn until 34ish weeks and then it was horrible.
I've never had heartburn in my life - no signs up until 34ish weeks.

I hate to tell you, but I didn't have any heartburn/reflux until a few weeks ago, right around 30. I really thought I had escaped it too, which surprised me because pre-baby I had terrible acid reflux if I ate too much chocolate or pasta, etc. I will say it is nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. It's only once every other night or so, and all I do is drink a small glass of milk, prop myself up a bit on pillows, and it goes away pretty quickly. If you DO get it, I hope it's a very mild case, but I will cross my fingers that you escaped it completely!

I didn't really have it until the last 6 weeks or so. I was chewing Tums while pushing.

Mine didn't hit until the end. It got bad the last few weeks. I think it started around 34-35 weeks. I only had it a little bit before that. Your baby is going to do a lot of growing now, so I wouldn't say you're in the clear yet. But who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and not get it at all!

@lawbee11: I didn't get heartburn until probably around 34-35ish weeks with no sign of it before I think the only safe assumption about pregnancy is that you're never in the clear.

@lawbee11: Sorry - I didn't want to burst your bubble, but it sounds like I'm not the only one that had heartburn late in pregnancy. Hopefully you'll have better luck!

As others have said, mine didn't hit until late pregnancy either. It makes sense because all your organs are getting more and more crammed in there. Doesn't hurt to keep some tums around!

@lawbee11: I'm 37 weeks, and with very few exceptions, I haven't had any real heartburn or indigestion. Every once in a while I will reflux a little bit but it isn't often at all. As far as heartburn goes, I haven't had any all pregnancy!

I never got indigestion and only had very mild heartburn once, after eating tacos. And my babe was born with a full head of hair!

A week or two ago (20/21 weeks) I was all "yay no heartburn!" and then it popped up. Nothing horrible, just faint and annoying! I blamed it on me celebrating not having it, haha! Hope you stay in the clear though!

I had lots of heartburn and indigestion near the end of my pregnancy. Tomatoes and I broke up during my pregnancy. We reunited after LO was born. It seemed like in the last weeks of pregnancy, anything I ate would give me heartburn. LO was born with a beautiful hair cape.

Mine hit the last two months of pregnancy in the middle of the night. It was the worst regardless of what I ate.

@pelikila: omg. The middle of the night heart burn is the WORST. It seriously wakes me up.
