Okay so my main question is to those people who had heartburn during pregnancy, did you find you were more prone to it postpartum? I'm 5mo pp and have crazy bad heartburn. Never got it before LO, had it the entire time I was pregnant. I have a iud so the chances of being pregnant are slim, but I also don't get regular periods because of it so who the heck knows anymore.
How worried should I be? Sorry for sounding like a lunatic.

Never had heartburn before pregnanvy. Had what I would consider minor heartburn towards the end of pregnancy and def have it more frequently now. I am 9 months Pp.

I think as a sign of pregnancy the odds are pretty slim to non-existent with an IUD. Try taking Tums and examining your diet. If it persists you should see a doctor though, since persistent severe heartburn can be a sign of more serious issues.

Thanks guys! I'm just having an in- over-my-head day as it is and started to panic because I never had heartburn before her or until today.

I never had HB until late in pregnancy. I didn't realize it was a pregnanch symptom. I personally don't out much stock in symptom spotting. I'd take a HPT if you are thinking you may be pregnant.
-
I had it only occasionally while pregnant, but also ONLY while pregnant. I got it about 4 months PP like you and I thought for sure I was pregnant. Nope!
I get it occasionally now. I guess some things just stick with you.

I didn't get much heartburn at all before pregnancy, had HORRIBLE heartburn all during pregnancy (and per the old wives tale, LO was born with tons of hair!) and pp have not had much heartburn at all.
-
I never had it before or after being pregnant, though I had it really bad during the late 2nd-3rd tri. That being said, I think it's unlikely with an IUD, but I'd test with a cheap test to be sure.

I had it during pregnancy both times but I never really get it when I'm not pregnant. I did have it super bad about two months ago and I automatically panicked because I thought the same as you! I'm not pregnant

I never had it before pregnancy. I had reflux during my third trimester and now I get it periodically. My DD is 2.5.

I never had it til my first pregnancy. With the pregnancy I was diagnosed with acid reflux. I've had it ever since. It's apparently sort of common because pregnancy relaxes your muscles and I'm assuming the muscle above your stomach takes longer to strengthen up. Kinda like kegels and your bladder
