I felt like my chest was on fire almost every night in my third trimester. Having small, frequent meals instead of big dinners and sleeping with an extra pillow really saved me.

I used to drink tender coconut water in the mornings, which kept my stomach cool. Also, try not to lie down immediately after eating your meals.

Heartburn is very common due to progesterone relaxing the valve. I tried to avoid spicy foods completely, but if it gets too severe, please ask your doctor for a safe antacid.
