Third trimester here and the heartburn after dinner is just too much yaar, cant even lie down properly. What do you all do to get some relief? pls share ur experience.
Beta, during my pregnancy at my mum's house, she would give me cold milk or fennel seeds (saunf) to chew on after meals. It really cools down the chest. Just make sure you eat light and rest well.
I am still trying to conceive, but my mother told me that having small, frequent meals instead of heavy ones really helps with the burning sensation. I hope these simple tips bring you some comfort, dear.
Oh God, the heartburn was so bad I felt like a fire-breathing dragon, haha! Sleeping with my head elevated on two pillows really helped. And yes, avoid spicy food unless you want to stay awake all night crying!
Actually, heartburn is the worst, yaar! Cold milk was my absolute savior, I used to keep a glass of it ready in the fridge. Also, don't lie down immediately after eating, walk a bit.
I used to get terrible heartburn in my second trimester. Personally, sipping on cold milk and eating watermelon really cooled down my stomach. I avoided taking any medicines unless I absolutely had to.
Acidity is very common because the baby pushes up against the stomach. My grandmother used to suggest drinking warm cumin (jeera) water or having a small piece of jaggery after meals. But if it is very severe, please ask your doctor for a safe antacid syrup.
Look, first of all, stop eating spicy and oily food at night. Eat dinner at least two hours before sleeping and go for a 10-minute walk. If it still doesn't go away, ask your gynecologist for a safe pregnancy gel/syrup, don't suffer in silence.
