I am what I like to call a “food motivated” person.
Despite being a picky eater as a child (ok, ok, and through college…), I love good food: eating it, cooking it, and talking about it.
I’m also a real person who eats Chick-fil-a, Cook Out, and frozen pizza because I believe in all things in moderation.
All of this makes heartburn one of the most annoying pregnancy symptoms for me to deal with because I’ll be darned if I can eat anything without getting heartburn.
