The heartburn is unbearable lately, cant even sleep properly yaar. I have my usual antacid at home but scared to take it without knowing. Will ask my gynac too but wanted to hear ur experience first.
I always prefer natural tips first—try chewing some fennel seeds (saunf) or drinking coconut water. But if the heartburn is extremely severe or you feel chest pain, don't wait and consult your doctor immediately.
Pregnancy acidity made me feel like a fire-breathing dragon, honestly! My doc prescribed an antacid syrup and I literally kept the bottle on my bedside table like gold. Just ask your doctor for a prescription and save yourself the torture.
Yes, you can take certain antacids, but don't just pick up any random OTC syrup. Always ask your gynac first because some contain high sodium. I managed mine by sitting upright for 30 minutes after meals.
My pregnancy app says that antacids containing calcium are generally safe, but avoid those with aluminum or high sodium. My doctor prescribed a safe syrup which I used to take after dinner. Check your tracker or ask your gynac for a safe brand.
Hey, don't stress too much, acidity is super common because of the hormones relaxing everything! Yes, you can take antacids, but just drop a quick WhatsApp message to your doc to ask which one is safe. Cold milk worked like magic for me too!

I get horrible heartburn every night and my chest literally burns. My gynac said basic antacids are fine, but I still feel scared to take them daily. Does anyone else also get this bad acidity in the third trimester?
