Beta, avoid having Eno too often as it contains too much salt. Instead, chew on a piece of ginger or drink a glass of cold milk slowly. These old home remedies are much safer for the baby.
Yaar, honestly, that burning sensation in the chest is the worst! But Eno actually has a lot of sodium, which can increase water retention. I used to just have cold milk or generic Digene gel after asking my gynac.
Having spicy biryani gave me worst heartburn ever, but my doctor told me to avoid Eno because of high salt. I shifted to drinking fresh coconut water or eating a small bowl of cold curd after meals. It works wonders and is so much healthier!
Even after my C-section, I had terrible gas and acidity. The hospital staff strictly advised against random self-medication like Eno. They gave me mild prescribed drops instead, so please consult your doctor before taking it.
Trust me, the acidity is real, but don't drink Eno like it's a cold drink! It has a lot of sodium which can bloat you up like a balloon. Better to stick to cold milk or fennel seeds (saunf) for relief.
Occasional use of Eno might be fine, but because of its high sodium content, it's not recommended regularly during pregnancy as it can increase blood pressure. It is best to check with your doctor for safe antacid alternatives that are pregnancy-approved.
