Mine started the day I saw the double lines and didn't leave until the baby was out lol! Honestly, keeping cold milk on my nightstand was my only savior during those sleepless nights.
Personally, my heartburn started around week 9 of my pregnancy and lasted on and off until delivery. It was really uncomfortable, especially when I lay down right after eating.
It usually starts around the fourth month and gets stronger as the baby grows and pushes up. Just keep your meals small, drink coconut water, and don't worry, it will get better after delivery.
It can start as early as the first trimester due to hormones, but usually gets worse in the second or third. Stop eating spicy food late at night and go for a walk after your dinner.
I know how awful and scary that burning chest feeling can be, it used to make me so anxious. It typically starts in the second trimester, but don't worry, it is a very common symptom and there are safe ways to manage it.
With my IVF journey, I was hyper-aware of every single symptom from day one. Heartburn kicked in around week 11 for me, but please take it easy and drink some cold milk for relief.
My doctor at the hospital explained that progesterone relaxes the muscles in the food pipe, which causes early heartburn. Ask your hospital staff for a safe, mild antacid syrup if it gets too painful.
