I've been suffering from really bad GERD symptoms since my second trimester. The burning sensation is very uncomfortable. What are some natural ways or remedies to manage GERD during pregnancy?
Avoid lying down immediately after meals and cut out all oily and spicy foods. Eat small portions every two hours instead of massive meals. If it gets unbearable, just ask your doctor for a safe syrup rather than suffering.
Oh babe, don't stress too much, almost every pregnant woman goes through this awful reflux. Keep some cold milk or coconut water handy near your bed. It works like magic for temporary relief, hang in there!
Haan, ye GERD aur acidity toh pregnancy mein jaan le leti hai na. Mujhe toh thanda doodh peene se bohot araam milta tha ghar pe. Spicy khana bilkul band kar do aur sone se do ghante pehle khao.
I felt so miserable in my second trimester because the chest burning wouldn't let me sleep at all. Elevating my head with two pillows was the only way I could get some rest. It felt like a never-ending struggle, but it does get better once the baby is born.
Try chewing on some saunf or having a spoonful of cold curd after meals for mild heartburn. But if the burning is very severe or you can't keep any food down, please ask your doctor for safe antacids. Don't take any OTC medicines yourself.
