Acid reflux - early pregnancy symptom?

Has anyone experienced acid reflux as a really early preg symptom? I’m only about 13 dpo and all of a sudden I can’t drink fruit juice without getting that burning sensation. I never got reflux before.
I’m due af any day now, I’m not 100% regular so not sure of exact dates. Average cycle is 27 days, which would have been yesterday, but it’s been known to be up to 31 days. I had cramping yesterday but af didn’t come. Also feel like my boobs are fuller, not sore or sensitive.
Hate this waiting part, everything feels like a symptom so not sure if I’m just trying to convince myself I’m preg 😩

I did get this around 5 weeks pregnant and it's been on/off since I'm 9+3 now

Took a test yesterday and I think there’s a faint positive line. Going to wait another couple days and take another.
Still getting the acid reflux but not quite so bad, and a little back ache too.

This is one of my worst pregnancy symtoms both times round. Tho it never kicked in till into the 2nd trimester and only gets worse as time goes on. Tho it could defo be an early symptom. Pregnancy hormones losen up all your smooth muscles including the muscle keeping the top of your stomach closed and when this relaxes it can allow harsh digestive juices to come back up your esophagus causing the acid reflux/heartburn. Fruit juices are really acidic anyway so its not surprising fruit juice is making it bad!

Thanks. Took another test today and it’s a definite bfp 😁. The reflux has eased up thankfully, but getting a few light headed spells and more back ache.

I had the worst heartburn in the week leading up to my bfp. Not had any since but it was definitely unusual for me!

Congratulations on your bfp! Sorry you have reflux so early on. It started for me in the second trimester. Hopefully it will go away for you for a few months!

@ThoBerry I had exact same symptoms this week and I took a test today I'm 16DPO, AF 2 days late and got a BFP!

Congrats @penguin7!
Thankfully the reflux seems to stop for me now at about 18 dpo, fingers crossed it doesn’t return.
