Up to 80% of pregnant people experience reflux or heartburn at some point—but you don’t have to just “put up with it.”

In this empowering episode, we’re joined by Kimberly Whitfield, MS, RD, a prenatal nutrition expert, to share pregnancy-safe tips to reduce discomfort and enjoy your meals again.

Together, we break down why reflux happens during pregnancy, the most common triggers, and gentle, effective strategies to get relief—without extreme restriction. Whether you’re in your first trimester or nearing the finish line, you’ll walk away with practical tools you can start using today.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
