Don't worry, this is very common because of progesterone slowing down digestion. Make sure you don't drink water with your meals, have it 30 minutes before or after. Also, a quick walk post-dinner will help.
Oh god, heartburn is the worst, but don't stress too much! Just avoid spicy food and keep some cold milk handy next to your bed. Also, try using two pillows to keep your head elevated while sleeping.
Heartburn can be really uncomfortable, especially when your body is already going through so much. Sucking on a piece of cold cucumber or having small sips of cold milk helped me. Please take gentle care of your precious self.
You can try chewing some fennel seeds (saunf) after meals or drinking cold milk, which are great natural remedies. But if the burning is very severe or accompanied by chest pain, please consult your doctor instead of self-medicating.
When I had awful heartburn, I directly asked my hospital's dietitian during my monthly visit. They advised me to eat small, frequent meals instead of three big ones, and to avoid lying down immediately after eating. It worked perfectly!
I heard from my bhabhi that chewing saunf or having a glass of cold coconut water really helps with acidity. Maybe you could try that gently and see if it gives you some relief.
Look, the trick is simple: stop eating spicy and greasy food, especially at night. Sleep with your head elevated and don't lie down for at least 2 hours after dinner. If it still doesn't get better, ask your doc for a safe antacid.
