The acidity and burning is killing me, third trimester and it gets worse at night when i lie down. Cant even sleep properly. What worked for u ladies to get some relief? open to home remedies.
Look, the simple solution is to stop eating heavy, oily food at night. Eat dinner early, at least two hours before sleeping, and keep a couple of pillows under your head to keep the acid down. If it still doesn't stop, go tell your gynac and get a safe syrup instead of suffering.
Please don't ignore severe acidity or try heavy self-medication during this time. I had severe issues during my pregnancy, and my doctor prescribed a very safe antacid gel that worked instantly. It's always best to ask your gynac before taking anything, even over-the-counter syrups.
Acidity in pregnancy is so troublesome, ho na! I used to drink a glass of cold milk without sugar whenever my chest felt like it was burning. Try having small meals and don't sleep immediately after eating, haan na, it really makes a difference.
My mother-in-law suggested drinking warm cumin (jeera) water or buttermilk to cool down the stomach, which did give me some relief. But when the burning got too uncomfortable, I immediately consulted my doctor who suggested a safe syrup. It is always good to try gentle home remedies but trust your doctor's word first.
I had terrible morning sickness combined with awful acidity, so I know exactly how miserable you must be feeling. Sipping on cold coconut water or chewing on a piece of fennel (saunf) after meals really helped soothe my throat. Try to avoid spicy foods and stay upright for at least 30 minutes after eating.
