What does heartburn feel like?

To my knowledge, I don't think I've ever had heartburn. However, after dinner this evening (tortellini w/ red sauce and roasted brussel sprouts, which I was DYING for), I feel this wierd pressure in my upper chest, like an air bubble or a burp that is stuck. DH said maybe it's heartburn, but it doesn't really feel like "burn." Just pressure.... wierd.

    I had this a lot with my last pregnancy...it can be like a burning in your chest, but it can also just feel like pressure in your throat or upper chest like you said.  I asked about the pressure specifically last time and my doctor told me it was heartburn.  Yucko nonetheless!

    Yep, that's heartburn. Had it all night last night and it was terrible. I told my doc today about it and he said to take tums after my meal and before I go to bed. I usually get heartburn when I eat foods with tomato sauce :-( or fried food but now I get it all the time.

    it feels like your chest/bottom of your throat is ON FIRE. I hated this the most about pregnancy #1. It hurt so bad I wanted to cry :(

    Yes, that's heartburn.  If I remember correctly, the very first few times I got it it felt like what you're describing.  Eventually it got worse over time and these days I can actually feel the burning in my throat.  It sucks a big one.

    Incidentally, it was tortellini in red sauce that got me the first time, too. :)  When I'm not pregnant, I generally avoid large or late portions of heavily sauced or greasy, fried things and that helps prevent heartburn.  However, pregnancy heartburn is another story for me because I'm getting it from any and everything, regardless of whether it's fruit or heavy pasta.
