The acidity is killing me yaar, especially at night I cant even lie down properly. Just curious why it suddenly becomes so much worse in pregnancy when I never had this problem before. Is it the hormones or what?
Mostly it's hormonal and the baby pressing up, very normal. But if the burning is severe or you also have pain in chest or vomiting a lot, please get it checked by your gynac just to be safe.
Yaar acidity in pregnancy is so common, actually the hormones slow down digestion also. I used to avoid oily n spicy stuff in the evening. Khaana thoda thoda kar ke khao, helps a lot.
Hormones plus the growing belly pushing on your tummy, that's the main reason. I had it both times. Eating small meals instead of one big meal helped me a lot, and dont lie down right after eating.
My doctor explained it's because of the hormones, they relax the valve at top of stomach so acid comes up easily. Plus as baby grows there's less space for the stomach. That's why acidity feels worse later in pregnancy.
Beta it's very common in pregnancy. For mild acidity I used to take a little cold milk or coconut water, used to give relief. But if it's burning a lot or constant, do tell your doctor, they can give something safe.
