Pregnancy Acidity: Causes, Prevention, and Home Remedies for Relief

• Acidity is common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and increased pressure on the stomach from the growing fetus.
• Symptoms include stomach/throat burning, sour burps, nausea, and a sour taste in the mouth.
• Preventative measures include eating on time, consuming light and easily digestible foods, staying hydrated, and getting adequate sleep.
• Avoid lying down immediately after meals, walk briefly, and sleep on your left side to aid digestion.
• Home remedies like clove-amla water or ajwain/fennel powder can help, but consult a doctor for severe symptoms like severe pain, blood in vomit, or black stools.
