Pregnant, Painful Stomach. Milk With Cereals And Barley Water Is The Only Food That Completely Cures. Cause?

Hi i feel a pain in the stomach like someone has punched me, below the sternum. When I massage my stomach from the outside it feels painful. I am 11 weeks pregnant. At night I cannot sleep, unless I eat milk with cereals which is the only food that completely cures me. Barley water seems to do good also. This has been going on for a couple of days now. Yoghurt messed me up completely yesterday and I puked shortly after some very acidic stomach juices but no food.

Hi,

Everything you are experiencing is normal for the age of pregnancy you are. Try to eat small portions of the food you can tolerate, and often and do not rush while you eat (slowly).

Drink more water and avoid foods that causes high acidity (yoghurt, citrus,etc.).

If you feel the pain in stomach, I usually prescribe soda bicarbonate to my pregnant patients as you as it is much safer than the drugs. Take a glass of water and pour 1 teaspoon of soda inside and drink it all.

You can add sugar to reduce the soda taste.

Hope it helped!
