Could be: Pregnancy is certainly well known to cause or make gerd worse. Amongst the symtoms of gerd is reflux if gas, or belching. Whether or not this mimicks a skipped heartbeat is less certain, because that sensation is highly subjective. Hope this helps, and good luck with the remainder of the pregnancy.
