Relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter: acts as a wall between the stomach and esophagus, causing for stomach acid to back up, causing the pregnant woman to have a burning sensation in the throat. Decreased gastric motility: slows down the digestive process. During the last stage of pregnancy, the growing fetus pushes the small intestine and stomach upward.
