I am 20 + weeks pregnant, I have this really bad acid relationship started from 18weeks. I take Gaviscon but it does not help long. It only relieve the acidity for few hours and then comes back. I don’t eat any spicy food at all. Drink cold milk more frequently to ease the acidity. Any natural home remedy, yoga, exercise or tips to relieve acidity?

Have you tried mint tea? I had it really bad at night in my last pregnancy, sleeping on your left if meant to help. I'm now pregnant again 19 weeks and also experiencing it again and try to cut down on sugar as I feel like that triggers it.

If you go to the doctors they will give you Omeprazole, few of my friends have had it and its helped massively xx

Thank you for your suggestion. Sleeping on left does help but not always. I will try mint tea. I don’t take any sugar other than natural sugar in fruits. I don’t drink tea and coffee even due to acidity as it makes it more worst. I can only drink milk.
I tried small frequent meals but that does not help too.
Frequent doses of Gaviscon other than recommended doses in a day helps with acidity.
I hope you have smooth journey. 🩷

I get heartburn every night after 8pm. I’m 19 weeks tmw and take tums

Milk for acid reflux is actually a myth, I googled it and it said basically although it lines the throat from acid... its fatty content irritates the stomach in turn making acid reflux worse after a while

It was prescribed by GP but i don’t take it as I am not sure about any side effects. It seems I should give it a go. Thank you for your suggestion.

Try drinking cumin water luke warm at night with some black salt in it. I am almost 20 weeks and wake up almost every night due to heart burn. Cumin water remedy is helpful
