Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
Pregnancy can cause GERD. Pregnancy causes increased abdominal pressure and this pressure causes laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms.
So better to avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
