The acidity is killing me these days, comes mostly after meals and at night when i lie down. Im in my second trimester. why does it get so bad in pregnancy, is it the hormones? curious what others felt.
Yaar acidity in pregnancy is so common, dont stress. Small meals, no spicy late at night, and keep your head a bit raised while sleeping. You will manage it.
Beta, in pregnancy the body changes slow the digestion, that is why acidity comes. At home we had cold milk or a little saunf after food, it gives relief. But if it is too much, ask your doctor for something safe.
My doctor said it is mainly the pregnancy hormones relaxing the valve at the stomach top, plus the uterus pressing up. She told me to eat small portions, avoid spicy and oily, and prop pillows at night. Worked quite well for me.
Acidity was so bad for me, hormones slow down digestion and the growing belly pushes acid up. I ate small frequent meals and avoided lying down right after eating. Cold milk and not sleeping flat helped me a lot.
