Thank you for asking on HealthcareMagic.com, providing better healthcare for you. I have gone through your case and I can understand your concern. Most pregnant women have symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD),especially heartburn,at some point during pregnancy. Acid reflux is more common in pregnancy because progesterone, the main hormone of pregnancy, slows your digestive system. That, combined with the pressure of a growing baby, increases the possibility that stomach acid will make its way upward. Over-the-counter (OTC) antacids can be very helpful for acid reflux. Eat small, frequent meals. Avoid greasy, spicy foods, especially close to bedtime. And avoid milk. Also avoid bad posture for back pain & go to bed 2 to 3 hours after eating. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
