Personally, I had horrible heartburn in my second trimester. I just had small meals and drank lots of coconut water, which helped me a lot.

I had thyroid so I was already visiting my doctor every month, and during one visit she gave me a safe syrup for heartburn. Regular follow-ups are so important to get the right medicine.

I didn't have time for elaborate remedies while managing office, so I just kept a bottle of cold milk handy in the office fridge. Also, sleeping with my head slightly elevated helped a lot.

Cold milk worked wonders for my acidity, and it cost absolutely nothing. Honestly, save your money instead of buying expensive antacids unless the doctor writes one during your paid checks.

Acidity kept me awake so many nights thinking something was wrong. I used to drink thoda sa cold milk, but please ask your doctor before taking any syrup because some are not safe.
