I've been feeling a lot of heartburn recently, and I think I might be in early pregnancy. Is heartburn a common symptom that can start this early? Just wanted to know if others experienced this too.
I had terrible heartburn early on, and I was so worried about every symptom. It is very common due to progesterone relaxing the stomach valve. Please mention it to your gynac so they can give you a safe antacid to keep you comfortable.
Yes, heartburn starts early for many! Instead of buying expensive OTC antacids, ask your doctor for a safe prescription during your regular checkup. It will save you money and keep you safe from unnecessary meds.
I totally understand how uncomfortable that burning throat feeling is, dear. Your body is going through so many beautiful changes, but this part is tough. Sip some cold water and take lots of rest.
Yes, absolutely, hormones slow down digestion, causing bad acidity even in the first month. Avoid spicy foods for lunch at office, and try having cold milk. It really helps to keep small meals handy at your desk.
Yes, it's very common. Don't lie down immediately after eating, and avoid heavy dinner. Have your dinner at least two hours before sleeping and walk a bit, it will solve half your problem.
