No but: Heartburn does occur often during pregnancy, usually worsening as the baby gets larger and pushes up on your abdomen. By itself, however, it is not a symptom of pregnancy as many things can cause heartburn. If you're worried about being pregnant, a home pregnancy test or blood test (more sensitive) can tell you.
