Third trimester and the indigestion is unbearable after every meal, feels like everything just sits in my chest. I dont want to depend on medicines too much. What home tricks worked for you all?
Yaar, actually, sleeping with two pillows to keep your head elevated works like magic for indigestion! Also, avoid spicy vada pavs late at night. Sip on warm water instead of drinking cold water with meals.
Drinking buttermilk with a pinch of ginger and curry leaves is very soothing for the stomach. But if the heartburn is too severe, please consult your doctor for safe medicine. Try to avoid oily foods as much as possible.
Honestly, in my 3rd trimester, even water gives me acidity! I survive by sitting upright for an hour after eating and chewing fennel seeds. My gynac also gave me a safe syrup for bad nights, highly recommend asking yours!
Hamare yahan kehte hain khane ke baad thodi der tehalna chahiye. You can also chew a little saunf after meals, it helps soothe the stomach. Take care of yourself, dear.
I had to manage both sugar and bad indigestion. Eating small portions of fiber-rich foods and walking for 15 minutes after meals really worked. Avoid heavy, oily dinners as they spike sugars and cause terrible reflux.
Stop lying down immediately after eating, that's the main culprit. Have small meals every two hours instead of three heavy ones. If it still doesn't get better, ask your doctor for a safe antacid syrup.
