Lately after every meal i get this burning feeling near my chest and its bohot uncomfortable. Im in my second trimester now. Is this the heartburn everyone talks about, when did it start for u?
Heartburn can actually start quite early in pregnancy, sometimes in the first trimester itself. It's often due to hormonal changes relaxing the digestive muscles. If it's severe or persistent, you should definitely discuss it with your gynac during your check-ups. They can suggest safe remedies or antacids.
Heartburn? Oh, honey, that can start as soon as you look at a packet of chips! For me, it was pretty early, maybe around week 10, and it's been a constant companion since. Now in my third trimester, it feels like a fire-breathing dragon lives in my chest. Just stock up on antacids (doc approved, of course)!
My pregnancy app actually mentioned heartburn can start as early as the first trimester, around 6-12 weeks. It's due to hormones relaxing the valve to your stomach. Later, the baby pushing up can make it worse. So yeah, it can begin quite early!
Oh my god, heartburn hit me like a truck around week 10-12! I totally panicked thinking something was wrong. But my doc said it's totally normal, thanks to hormones and your growing uterus. It can get really bad, just know it's a common pregnancy thing.
Heartburn can be really uncomfortable, and it started for me quite early, like in the second trimester. Be careful with what you eat, especially spicy or fatty foods, which can trigger it. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to watch my diet very closely, and it often helped with heartburn too.
Heartburn is such an annoying pregnancy symptom, I truly empathize! It can sneak up on you quite early, sometimes even in the first trimester, due to all those hormonal shifts. Later on, the baby pressing on your stomach makes it even worse. It's completely normal, even though it feels awful.
