Almost every night now i get this burning coming up my chest and throat, it gets so uncomfortable. Im around 6 months and it wasnt this bad earlier. Why does it happen more in pregnancy?
Hormones slow your digestion and the baby pushes everything up, classic combo. I ate smaller meals and avoided lying down right after food, helped a lot. Spicy and oily stuff made it worse for me.
Ugh the reflux was brutal for me. Its the hormones plus pressure on the tummy. What worked was not eating heavy at night and keeping my head raised while sleeping. Cold milk helped too sometimes.
Haan it happens to most of us na, the hormones and baby's pressure both. I used to eat thoda thoda many times instead of big meals. Avoid sleeping immediately after khaana.
Mostly its hormonal and the baby pressing up. Small meals and a little jeera water settled it for me. But if the burning is severe or constant, do tell your doctor, dont just keep adjusting at home.
My gynac explained its mostly hormones relaxing the valve in your food pipe, plus the growing baby pressing on the stomach later on. Thats why it gets worse in the third trimester. She suggested small frequent meals.
