Indigestion (dyspepsia) refers to pain or discomfort in the stomach, while heartburn is a burning pain in the stomach and chest caused by stomach acid. Heartburn is often triggered by fatty or spicy foods, caffeine, chocolate, and citrus fruit juices.
Burning Sensation in Stomach or Heartburn during Pregnancy
Heartburn can be caused by changes in hormone levels. One of the pregnancy hormones called progesterone can relax the muscles that normally keep the esophagus closed, where it meets the stomach. This causes food and acid to back up from the stomach into the esophagus.

Heartburn becomes more common as the pregnancy progresses. This can be caused by the uterus (uterus) pressing against your stomach as your baby grows. This also pushes the contents of the stomach up into the esophagus.
