Yes, acidity is so annoying during these months. Having small, frequent meals instead of heavy lunch or dinner really helped me.

Acidity is the worst yaar, literally feels like chest is burning. Actually, having cold milk or a bit of vanilla ice cream before sleeping saved me. Also, dinner thoda early kar lo, don't lie down immediately after eating.

During my consultation at the hospital, my doctor specifically gave me a lifestyle chart to handle reflux. The nursing staff also told me never to self-medicate, even for basic acidity, and recommended a safe gel syrup they prescribe. Better to just call your doctor's clinic and ask their team what's safe for you.

You can try natural things like cold milk or chewing fennel seeds after meals, which worked well for me. But if the burning sensation is constant and severe, please consult your doctor before taking any over-the-counter antacids. They can prescribe a pregnancy-safe syrup.

Oh god, the third-trimester heartburn makes you feel like a fire-breathing dragon! I literally slept propped up on three pillows and survived on cold milk. Just avoid spicy food unless you want your throat to feel like a volcano!
