I think the achy feeling is normal as everyone has said.

For heartburn/reflux, it depends how bad it is and how often you have it. Ways to deal with it are, avoid the foods that affect you, usually tomato based foods. Sleep propped up, so more pillows to keep you elevated. Try mylanta, quikeze etc, if your heartburn/reflux is quite constant speak to your dr or mw about taking zantac, zantac works wonders and you only have to take one or 2 tablets a day. If your heartburn/reflux is really bad or you have had complications then your OB/GP should put you on Losec, you need a script for that though, the other stuff is all over the counter.

Mrsbexie, Thanks for the almond oil tip, im going to buy some tomorrow, havent heard of using that one before.

Anyway, HTH
