My heartburn in this 3rd trimester is so bad that I'd drink anything to stop it! ACV did help me slightly, but please make sure you don't drink it raw or you'll regret the burning taste. Dilute it like your life depends on it!

Haan na, acid reflux is so irritating in pregnancy! Diluted pasteurized ACV is safe, ho na. Just make sure to rinse your mouth after drinking it so the acid doesn't affect your tooth enamel.

I drank diluted ACV during both my pregnancies to keep my weight and digestion in check. Avoid the raw, organic unpasteurized ones completely because of infection risks. Just stick to the basic, clear pasteurized brands from the grocery store.

Dear, apple cider vinegar is great for heartburn, but make sure you buy the pasteurized version during pregnancy. Just mix one teaspoon in a warm glass of water. If you feel any stomach irritation, stop it immediately and ask your doctor.

Actually, make sure you don't buy the raw one with 'the mother' because it's unpasteurized, yaar. That can carry bacteria which is risky right now. Just buy normal pasteurized ACV and dilute it well.

Yes, it is safe in moderation. I used to drink a glass of warm water with a spoonful of ACV to help with digestion and bloating in my second trimester. Just listen to your body and don't overdo it.

I didn't know much about this, but my city cousin told me that if we drink it, it must be the pasteurized one. Unpasteurized vinegar can have bad bacteria which is not good for the baby. Always dilute it with lots of water if you drink it.

I panicked when I accidentally had salad with ACV dressing, thinking it would harm my baby! But my doctor told me it's totally safe as long as it's pasteurized and taken in small diluted quantities. Relax, nothing will happen!

Haan, drinking ACV is fine but check the bottle carefully na, pasteurized hona chahiye. Aur direct kabhi mat peena, it can burn your throat. Mix one spoon in a big glass of warm water, it actually helps with bad acidity!

My pregnancy tracker app mentioned that pasteurized ACV is perfectly safe and can even help control blood sugar spikes. Just remember to limit it to one teaspoon diluted in water, and log how your body reacts to it.
