Due to maternal energy requirements, pregnant women need to eat prior to exercise. However, due to gastrointestinal changes, eating too closely to a bout of exercise, can prove to be a pain. Caution should be given when eating directly before exercise, as the shift in blood flow away from digestive organs and toward the working muscles will aggravate heartburn symptoms. It is important to eat a light snack one to one and a half hours before the workout or exercise class. This should help get rid of or stop the problem.
