About this condition
Heartburn is very common during pregnancy in India, especially in the second and third trimesters. Hormonal changes relax the valve between stomach and esophagus, and the growing baby pushes stomach upward. Small frequent meals, avoiding lying down after eating and safe antacids provide relief.
