I thought I had a bad stomach infection and panicked, but it was actually just early pregnancy acidity! It is totally normal, so try not to worry.

Gastritis is common, but sometimes hormonal changes like thyroid issues can also affect digestion. Keep your doctor informed during your routine checkups.

Sunita Vohra · Answer

I completely understand how uncomfortable and stressful early stomach pain can feel. Yes, gastritis is very common, but please check with your doctor if it is severe.

Medha Ruia · Answer

While mild acidity is normal, severe stomach pain should not be ignored. Please consult your gynac to make sure everything is fine.

For me, terrible gas and bloating were the first signs even before I missed my period. Hormones slow down digestion, which causes this.

My mother used to give me warm jeera water for acidity, which helped a lot. But if the burning is too much, please ask your doctor for a safe antacid.
