Is getting sick before and after you eat a sign of pregnancy?

Q: Is it a sign of pregnancy? My period this month was very light. Could I be pregnant?

A: Some women experience an increase in stomach discomfort as a result of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) that can worsen in a pregnancy.  However, it would be unusual for women to experience this before a pregnancy is confirmed as it is usually related to increasing hormones as the pregnancy progresses.
