Third trimester chal raha hai and the acidity is killing me, especially at night i cant even lie down properly. What home things worked for u all? My gynac visit is next week so will ask her too.
I had severe acidity due to my PCOS medications before, and it got worse in pregnancy. Try to avoid spicy food completely, but be very cautious and don't take any over-the-counter antacids without asking your doctor.
No need for fancy organic drinks, just keep a bottle of cold milk in the fridge and drink a few sips when it burns. Also, avoid eating heavy fried food, simple ghar ka khana is best.
Actually, sleeping with your head elevated on a couple of pillows really helps prevent acid reflux. Avoid lying down immediately after meals and eat dinner at least two hours before sleeping.
Oh God, the acidity is killing me too right now in my 7th month! I try having cold milk, but does anyone else feel like nothing works for more than an hour?
My acidity was so bad, but sipping cold water and eating small portions of food helped. Now that I am breastfeeding, I realized how much our bodies go through, so please be gentle on yourself.
I used to do a very gentle, slow 15-minute walk inside the house after dinner, which my doctor said was great for digestion. It really helped reduce my acidity, but definitely check with your doctor before starting any routine.
I totally feel your pain, sweetheart, that burning sensation used to keep me up crying at night. Just know that this phase will pass once your little one is in your arms. Try having small, frequent meals.
Arre don't stress too much, acidity is like a constant pregnancy partner! Just sip on some cold milk or keep chewing fennel seeds (saunf) throughout the day, it works wonders.
I was so terrified of taking anything during my pregnancy after my past loss. I only relied on natural things like safe amounts of coconut water, and always double-checked with my doctor before trying anything else.
My mother-in-law told me to chew a piece of clove (laung) after meals to curb the acid. It actually helped me quite a bit, along with avoiding heavy masalas.
