How to help pregnancy heartburn?

Dealing with gut issues is so tough, especially when your hormones are already everywhere. Cold milk in small sips helped me slightly, but please check with your doctor first. Every pregnancy is different, so don't self-medicate.

Please be very careful with severe acidity during pregnancy. I ignored it thinking it was normal, but it turned out to need proper medical management. Talk to your doctor before taking any over-the-counter antacids.

My mother used to suggest drinking a little buttermilk with roasted cumin, which did help my sister during her pregnancy. But we always made sure to ask her doctor first. Safe to get a quick confirmation from your gynecologist.

Beta, try chewing a few fennel seeds (saunf) after your meals, it naturally cools the stomach. Keep your dinner very light and avoid oily food at night. If the burning does not stop, ask your doctor for safe syrup.

Haan na, this heartburn is actually very annoying during pregnancy. I used to sleep with an extra pillow to keep my head elevated, and it worked well. Try doing that tonight, hopefully it gives you some relief.
