Im 7 weeks and already feeling burning in my chest after every meal. Is acidity supposed to start this early or it comes later? matlab does it get worse as pet grows?
Oh my god, my acidity started around week 8 and I was constantly worrying if it was safe to take any antacids. I kept thinking it would hurt the baby, but my gynac reassured me it’s just progesterone relaxing the digestive tract. Please don't overthink, it’s a very normal symptom.
I completely agree, acidity usually kicks in during the first trimester due to hormones and gets worse later as the baby grows. Having cold milk really helped me manage it.
Acidity has been my constant companion since the second trimester, and now in my third trimester, it's at its peak because the baby is literally squishing my stomach! I get heartburn even after drinking water. Just eat small portions and avoid lying down immediately after meals.
For me, the burning sensation in my chest started early in the second trimester and lasted till delivery. The pregnancy hormones relax the valve between your stomach and esophagus, which causes acid to splash up. Keeping my head elevated with pillows while sleeping really helped.
With two babies pushing up against my ribs, my acidity started early and was absolutely brutal by month 6! Having small meals every two hours was the only way I survived. Keep some cold milk handy, it’s a practical lifesaver.
In our house, my MIL used to give me cold milk or fennel seeds (saunf) to chew whenever my acidity started around the 3rd month. She said the baby's hair growing causes acidity, which is an old myth, but the home remedies definitely worked! Try them out.
Honestly, my acidity started around the 12th week and it was so sad because I couldn't enjoy my favorite spicy pani puri anymore! I had to switch to coconut water and curd to keep the burning away. But don't worry, you can still find tasty, mild things to eat!
My acidity was quite bad during the second half of my pregnancy. Even after my C-section, my digestion took some time to settle down. Eating light, non-spicy food and not skipping meals is the best way to keep it under control.
I’m currently planning and reading up on what to expect! It seems acidity can start quite early, around the 6th or 7th week, because of hormone levels rising. It’s good to be prepared with simple remedies like ginger water.
I totally understand how uncomfortable that burning feeling can be, sweetie. It often starts early in the first trimester because your body is preparing for your little miracle. Just be gentle with yourself and try having small, soothing meals.
I had terrible heartburn starting from the 10th week, and it honestly made me so anxious and uncomfortable. If you're feeling miserable, please know that it's just a normal physical reaction to pregnancy hormones. Try taking deep breaths and sipping small amounts of cold water.
