Im in my second trimester and after almost every meal i feel so bloated and gassy, sometimes acidic burning bhi hota hai. Tried eating slow and small portions but still uncomfortable yaar. What worked for u all?
Mere ghar pe toh MIL and mummy used to say avoid lying down right after eating. They gave me mild saunf water to drink throughout the day, and touchwood it helped a lot with the bloating. You can try that, it is totally safe and natural.
I had a C-sec last year and let me tell you, keeping digestion smooth is so important even post delivery to avoid any pressure on the stitches. During pregnancy, I used to sleep with my head slightly elevated using an extra pillow. It stops the acid from coming up and keeps u comfortable.
Take a deep breath dear, it's just your body making space for the little one. Just avoid spicy and heavy oily food for a few weeks, and see how it goes. If the burning is too much, ask your doc for a safe antacid gel, but dont suffer quietly okay?
My kid is 2 now and looking back, I remember crying because of this exact acidity. It honestly feels like it will never go, but the moment your baby is out, it completely vanishes. For now, try drinking cold milk in small sips, it gives instant relief.
Oh god, indigestion was my biggest enemy during those first few months. Honestly, nothing worked except keeping my meals really small and frequent. Try sucking on some ginger or lemon drops, it literally saved me when the acidity got too much to handle.
I am in my 5th month right now and having this same issue every single evening. Is it normal to get such bad heartburn even after eating simple home food? My gynac said it's common, but I still get a bit scared when the chest burns so much.
Between back to back office meetings, I used to carry a small bottle of buttermilk or coconut water with me. Dont keep long gaps between meals, that is the main culprit for acidity. Just take quick 10 min walks after lunch, it helps digestion a lot.
