during pregnancy because of increased intra-abdominal pressure the stomach contents tend to regurgitate and cause these symptoms. it is advisable to eeat food and not fall asleep immediately after that. also you can take proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole . nausea and vomiting may be side effect of these drugs in some patients so do keep an ondansetron tablet by your side in case this happens.
