A member asked:
I developed gerd while pregnant, will it go away after birth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
GERD: Maybe yes and maybe no. If the gerd is totally due to the baby and enlarged uterus and weight gain, then it may go away after delivery and weight loss.

Often, yes: Many women develop gerd due to their pregnancy, as there are many hormonal and physical changes that occur during pregnancy. Many women will revert back to their original state after delivery, but not always.
