Since the start of third trimester i get this horrible burning in my chest especially at night. Never had acidity issues before pregnancy so wondering if its because of the baby. Is this a common thing yaar?
I had bad heartburn and my amma gave me a little cold milk and tender coconut water which soothed it. Avoiding very spicy food helped too. For the bad nights I asked my doctor for something safe.
Yes so much, the reflux in my third trimester was terrible. Hormones relax things and the growing baby pushes up your stomach. Small frequent meals and not lying down right after eating helped me a lot.
Totally normal yaar, almost every pregnant woman gets it especially later on. Eat small portions, avoid spicy and oily, and keep your head a bit raised at night. If it's severe, doc can give a safe antacid.
