    Updated on 10 March 2023

    Do you feel the fire blazing in your chest? Then, you’re not the only one. Heartburns are expected during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Studies reveal that about 45% of pregnant women undergo heartburn. Heartburns are caused due to progesterone pregnancy hormones, slow digestion, growing baby, etc. Let’s discuss a few practical ways to extinguish pregnancy heartburn.

    The best part is that you don’t have to embrace this annoying symptom; instead, you can try to eliminate or reduce its impact. At the same time, one of the best ways is to contact your doctor and ask for some antacids to help you feel better. Another way is to take some precautions, like not eating heavy meals later in the day; let’s discuss a few more precautions and lifestyle changes to extinguish pregnancy heartburn.

    Few foods own double the natural effect and are effective for heartburn. Such home remedies are safe and help pregnant women get rid of heartburn.
