I'm experiencing a lot of acidity and heartburn since I became pregnant, and it's making me very uncomfortable. What can I safely take or do to get some relief from acidity during pregnancy? Please suggest home remedies.
Oh god, the acid reflux made me feel like a fire-breathing dragon! Honestly, I survived on cold water and walking around like a penguin after dinners. Hang in there, the baby will have lots of hair, or so they say, haha!
I also struggled a lot with severe acidity during my months. I didn't want to take any medicines so I just relied on cold milk and chewing fennel seeds (saunf) after food. It worked for me, but everyone's body is different.
I felt so helpless when acidity hit me in my third trimester, I literally cried one night. I felt like nothing would work but then cold cucumber slices and small walks helped slightly. It is tough but once you hold your baby, you forget all of this pain.
Ugh, acidity is the worst enemy of my food cravings! I wanted to eat spicy chaat so bad but then had to balance it with sweet lassi or cold milk. I find that avoiding spicy dinners and eating curd really helps me enjoy my meals a bit more.
My mother-in-law used to give me warm water with jeera or a bit of buttermilk with curry leaves for acidity. It felt very soothing, but I still asked my doctor if it's safe to take any gel syrup when it got too bad. Definitely check with your gynac once before taking any over-the-counter medicine.
Acidity can be so troublesome, I had it throughout my pregnancy. What really helped me was having cold milk in small sips and keeping my head elevated while sleeping. Take small meals often, it gets better after delivery, don't worry.
Hey, try to avoid lying down immediately after meals, keep a gap of at least two hours. Digestion slows down a lot during pregnancy, so smaller, frequent meals are your best friend. If it gets too painful, ask your doctor for a safe antacid syrup instead of self-medicating.
