Third trimester and the acidity is killing me yaar, especially at night i cant even lie down properly. Dont want to keep popping anything so looking for safe ways to manage it. What worked for u all?
Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be very careful with food and couldn't drink sweet beverages for relief. Eating small portion sizes of low-carb, non-spicy meals every few hours kept my blood sugar stable and my acidity fully in check.
Aha, acidity is my middle name in this third trimester! I literally survive on cold milk and sleeping sitting up like a statue because my baby is crushing my stomach. Just hang in there, we are almost at the finish line!
When I was at my mom's place, she used to give me fresh buttermilk (chaas) with a pinch of roasted cumin after lunch. It kept my stomach so cool and comfortable. Try to stay away from heavy, oily food.
Instead of spending money on expensive medical syrups, try simple and cheap things first like cold milk or chewing fennel seeds (saunf) after food. It works wonders and keeps your medical budget under control, save that for your baby's delivery!
I've been dealing with terrible acid reflux lately in my second trimester, even when eating simple food. It's making me so anxious. Did you guys also get severe acidity around this time and what helped you?
Beta, dophar ko khane ke baad thoda sa saunf chabane se acidity bilkul nahi hoti. Thanda doodh bhi peeyo, pet me thandak milegi. Masaledar khane se thoda door raho abhi.
Acidity can be so uncomfortable, especially when you are already dealing with so many medicines. Try taking small, frequent meals rather than heavy ones, as it puts less pressure on your stomach. Sending you gentle thoughts and hoping you feel better soon.
My tracking app recommended sleeping with your head elevated on a couple of pillows to prevent acid reflux at night. Also, try keeping a 2-hour gap between your dinner and bedtime. It made a huge difference for me!
Khane ke turant baad letna nahi chahiye, thoda walk karna chahiye, ho na? Aur thanda doodh peene se jalan turant kam hoti hai. Masaledar khana thoda kam hi rakho, haan na?
