Im in 6th month and the acidity is unreal, even water gives me that sour feeling. Why does it get this bad in pregnancy? curious if its hormonal or the baby pressing on stomach.
I remember crying because of severe heartburn during my third trimester, but trust me, it disappears the minute the baby is born! Now my toddler is running around and I barely remember that pain. Hang in there, this phase will pass soon.
Acidity was constant for me, especially with my daily thyroid meds in the morning on an empty stomach. Make sure you discuss this with your doctor during your regular check-ups. They can adjust your routine or give safe remedies.
It is because of the progesterone hormone which relaxes the valve between your stomach and esophagus, plus the growing baby presses on your stomach. Try eating small meals frequently instead of huge ones, and don't lie down immediately after eating.
Hey, don't stress too much about this, it is totally normal and almost every pregnant woman goes through it! I used to keep some dry biscuits by my bedside. Just chill, have some coconut water, and take it easy.
I faced terrible acidity too, and what helped me was having a cup of cold milk before sleeping. Try to avoid drinking water in between meals as it can bloat you more. Take care of yourself, dear.
Look, your digestion slows down big time during pregnancy, so acidity is bound to happen. Stop eating spicy and fried food completely for a few weeks. If it still doesn't get better, ask your gynac for a safe antacid, don't self-medicate.
