If you are also pregnant and are feeling a burning sensation in the throat, sour belching or heaviness after eating, then believe me you are not alone. This is very common. Often, due to the changes taking place in the body and the enlargement of the uterus, the digestive system becomes a little sluggish.

Most women are afraid of taking medicines during pregnancy, and they should be afraid because not every medicine is safe. Then how to get relief? The answer lies in our old home remedies. Let us know those easy solutions which will give you instant relief.

1. Coconut Water: ‘Cool’ for the stomach
If acidity is bothering you too much, start the day with fresh coconut water. It not only quenches thirst but also cools the stomach lining and balances the acid level. After drinking this you will feel light.

2. Handful of Almonds
Yes, almond not only sharpens the brain, it also calms the burning sensation in the stomach. If you suddenly feel a burning sensation, chew 2-3 almonds and eat them. Almonds contain oil which absorbs the acid and soothes the stomach. It is anyway very good for your and your baby’s health.

3. Cold Milk: Instant Effective
If you are feeling a burning sensation in your throat, sip a cup of cold milk (without sugar) from the fridge. Milk contains calcium which eliminates acid and provides cooling effect. It works no less than a ‘fire brigade’.

4. Miracle of fennel
You must have often seen eating fennel after eating in restaurants. Why? Because it improves digestion. You can either chew a little fennel after eating or boil it in water, cool it and drink it. It is a panacea for flatulence and gas problems.

5. Banana is a natural antacid
Banana is rich in potassium and it slows down the process of acid formation in the stomach. Eating a banana daily will not only relieve the problem of constipation, but will also provide relief from frequent heartburn.

Some small but important things (important tips)

• Eat little by little: Instead of eating a full meal at one go, eat small meals 5-6 times a day.
• Do not lie down immediately: Do not make the mistake of going to bed immediately after eating. Walk for at least 20 minutes.
• Keep the pillow high: While sleeping, keep your head slightly elevated so that the acid does not reach the throat.

This is a very delicate time, so take full care of yourself and your food and drinks. These remedies will definitely provide relief, but if the problem is severe, do not hesitate to talk to a doctor.
