Acidity is very common, but you shouldn't take any over-the-counter antacids without asking. Please consult your gynac first so they can prescribe a safe syrup or tablet for you. In the meantime, try to avoid spicy food and don't lie down immediately after eating.
Having twins meant my stomach was constantly squashed, so acidity was my permanent guest! I survived by eating very small meals every two hours and drinking lots of buttermilk (chaas). If I ate a full normal plate, my throat would literally be on fire, so pacing yourself is key, haha!
I had terrible acidity during my second trimester and tried so many things. For me, drinking fresh coconut water in the morning and chewing on small pieces of ginger really helped soothe my stomach. Everyone's body is different, but these simple natural things worked wonders for me.
Honestly, my baby is keeping me awake all night now, but during pregnancy, acidity kept me up! What really saved me was having cold milk in small sips right before bed. Also, try to avoid sleeping flat—elevate your head with a couple of pillows or you'll feel the burn!
Ah, the lovely pregnancy heartburn where even drinking plain water feels like swallowing fire, haha! I stopped eating spicy dinners and started eating tiny meals like a bird. Keeping some fennel seeds (saunf) nearby to chew on after meals was a total game-changer.
