The burning in my chest after every meal is unbearable now, im 31 weeks. Sometimes it gets so bad at night i cant lie down at all. I plan to talk to my gynac but wanted to know what naturally helped others. pls share.
Oh i feel you, the burning was awful for me. What helped was eating small meals and never lying down right after food, i used to wait 2 hours. Also propping up extra pillows at night made a big difference.
Beta cold milk and a little soaked saunf used to calm my stomach in those days. Avoid too spicy and oily food, that triggers it the most. But if its very bad do take the doctors safe medicine, no need to bear it.
If its really severe and constant, do mention to your gynac, they can give a safe antacid for pregnancy. Severe heartburn that doesnt settle or comes with upper belly pain should be checked, just to be safe. Dont just keep suffering quietly.
Smaller frequent meals, avoid lying flat, cut down chai and fried stuff, that combo controlled mine. For the bad nights my doctor had prescribed a safe antacid which i kept handy. Ask yours for one to keep on hand.
Third trimester heartburn is on another level, i feel like a dragon some nights honestly. Sleeping almost sitting up with pillows is the only thing that lets me rest. Solidarity sister, it does ease after delivery.
