Brief Answer: take antacids. sleep on left side. Detailed Answer: Dear XXXX Thanks for writing to healthcare magic. Most pregnant women have this problem. This is because of hormonal changes and also bigger tummy because of baby. please try to sleep on your leftside. Also don't lie down immediately after food .sleep with 2 pillows so your head is higher. Try antacids like digene or gelusil 2 tsp 3 times a day. avoid spicy food and foods like lentils, onions, broccoli in excess quantities. Try yogurt instead of milk. If you still have symptoms then you can consider taking tablet pantaprazole before food once a day. Please write back with queries if any. Thanks Dr XXXXXXX
