Thanks for using health care magic. I read your query and it appears you may be having acid reflux and due to that you have little difficulty is swallowing. this is common in pregnancy. you can start antacid gel two tea spoon full- two to three times daily . it is safe in pregnancy. avoid excessive tea or coffee and spicy food.
If still in doubt, please feel free to see your gynaecologist.
Please don’t hesitate to consult and ask for any more queries.
With best wishes for a speedy cure
