Heartburn can strike at anytime during pregnancy. Heartburn is acid from the stomach flowing up into the esophagus. This can cause a burning feeling in the chest, a bitter taste in the mouth, burping, and sometimes nausea. Heartburn in pregnancy can be due to increased levels of progesterone, the growing baby competing for room and putting pressure on the stomach, food sensitivities, diet and the state of the mama’s digestive health. So, what can you do to relieve this burni...ng pain, which sometimes feels like a fire in your chest? Eat smaller meals, filling your stomach too much can lead to indigestion, smaller and more frequent meals allows for more optimal digestion, reducing the risk of heartburn. . Don’t eat too close to bedtime; if the valve between the esophagus and stomach is loose, lying down will further exacerbate symptoms of indigestion. . Drink some ginger tea! Ginger is soothing, reduces inflammation, can help to further support digestion and is safe to consume during pregnancy. Ginger is also great at reducing nausea. . Apple cider vinegar taken 15 minutes before meals can allow for optimal digestion leading to reduced symptoms of heartburn. . Acupuncture is a great adjuvant to care during pregnancy. Studies show that acupuncture can decrease severity of heartburn symptoms and the disability these symptoms cause in daily aspects of life such as sleeping and eating. . Supporting a healthy microbiome and a balance between the good and bad bacteria that populate the gut will support a healthy digestive system, which can support or reduce heartburn symptoms. . Run a food sensitivity panel, food sensitivities can lead to heartburn and once the sensitive food are removed, symptoms can decrease or resolve. . Please remember to consult your Naturopathic Doctor before starting any new supplement and to find out which protocol is best for you! . . #oakvillemoms #downtownoakville #healthyoakville #oakvillehealthyliving #oakvillekids #pregnancyoakville #abatonim #abaton #pregnantinoakville #naturopathicmedicine #oakville #oakvilleparent #oakvillend #prenatalcare #oakvilledowntown #oakvillemom #oakvilleontario #prenatalcareoakville
