I have also assumed that "reflux" must be "heartburn". I experienced it a=
bout
twice altogether in the course of three pregnancies, fortunately never be=
fore
nor since. (In pregnancy it is usually explained, at least in part, by th=

upwards pressure of the bulge on the stomach.) It is only on this list ha=

heard of it in regard to singing, but perhaps I don't read enough books or
move in the right circles.
