Heartburn is one of the most unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy. Also called acid reflux, this feels like a burning sensation in your chest mostly after eating.

Tips to manage heartburn:

1. Eat small, frequent meals. Instead of 3 full meals, take about 5-6 small meals daily.

2. Avoid spicy and fatty food. Fried, oily and spicy food increases heartburn.

3. Do not lie down after eating. Sitting upright after a meal will encourage faster absorption of your food.

If heartburn still bothers you, talk to your doctor so you can be given pregnancy-safe antacids.
