Third trimester and the heartburn after dinner is killing me yaar, burning right up to my throat and I cant even lie down properly. Have tried sitting up but doesnt help much. What gives u relief? Im not wanting medicines, just simple things.
I hear many pregnant friends complain about severe heartburn. They usually suggest having cold milk or tender coconut water to soothe the burning sensation. Hope you find some relief soon.
Keeping active and not lying down immediately after eating really helped me with heartburn. Small, frequent meals instead of heavy ones are key. It gets much better after delivery, so stay positive!
My doctor suggested keeping my head elevated with two pillows while sleeping to prevent acid from coming up. Also, avoid spicy food at night. It really worked for me during my pregnancy.
No need to buy expensive syrups. Just chew on some fennel seeds (saunf) after meals or have a glass of chilled buttermilk. Avoid oily dinners and try to walk for 10 minutes inside the house after eating.
Oh, that terrible pregnancy heartburn! I used to drink cold milk slowly at night and it gave me instant relief. Now my baby is a toddler and all those symptoms feel like a distant memory. Hang in there!
