I've been experiencing acid reflux symptoms, and I'm a bit worried as I'm pregnant. Is GERD dangerous during pregnancy, or is it a common discomfort? When should I be concerned?
GERD is extremely common in pregnancy because the progesterone hormone relaxes the stomach valve, letting acid go up. It isn't dangerous for your pregnancy, but you can talk to your gynac for safe antacids if it's too uncomfortable.
I know how terrifying that burning chest pain can be, and it’s so easy to worry that something is seriously wrong with your heart or the baby. Please take a deep breath; GERD is very common and not dangerous, though definitely scary.
Ugh, my GERD was so bad that I had to put a complete stop to my late-night pani puri cravings! It’s not dangerous at all, just a huge party pooper when you want to eat yummy food.
As a breastfeeding mom now, I can tell you that those pregnancy GERD days do pass. It's not dangerous, but simple things like sipping cold milk and sleeping with extra pillows can give you great relief.
With twins pushing my stomach all the way up to my throat, my GERD was next level! It's not dangerous for the babies, but it will definitely keep you awake at night if you don't eat small, frequent meals.
Managing my acid reflux was a major task even after my C-section delivery, as my digestion took some time to get back to normal. It isn't dangerous, but do mention it to your doctor so they can help you feel more comfortable.
My baby is a toddler now, but I still remember staying up googling if my acid reflux was harming my little one. Rest assured, it is completely harmless for the baby, it just makes your own life a bit uncomfortable for a while!
Dealing with GERD along with bad morning sickness was the absolute worst for me. It's not dangerous for the baby, but it is extremely painful, so try sitting upright after eating and avoid sleeping flat.
