is this heartburn?

i've never had heartburn before so i don't really know anything about it. But what i have is just burning in my throat. Its not in my chest or anywhere else. And it will burn after i eat sometimes, and every once in awhile when i drink orange juice..and i drink alot of that and i've heard that willl cause heartburn. or is it just pregnancy and not heartburn at all?

They're more or less the same thing, but also different---if that makes any sense. Acid reflux usually happens without pain in your chest and most don't notice it. Just try using something before you eat or drink anything that might cause the problem. Take my word for it, you don't want to let it fester or get worse.

Sounds like acid reflux to me. I get it a lot and I always get a pain in my throat and back of my mouth. It also gives me a bad upset stomach. Try taking Tums or Zantac and see if it helps at all.
