How to Relieve Acid Reflux During Pregnancy?

Vomiting acid water is a common reaction in early pregnancy, which is related to the gradual enlargement of the fetus in the mother's body. As the uterus enlarges, it compresses adjacent tissues and organs, especially having a certain impact on the digestive organs, leading to many symptoms in pregnant women, such as vomiting acid water, nausea and vomiting, poor appetite, etc. Vomiting acid water during pregnancy can be alleviated by maintaining a happy and relaxed mood, rationally allocating diet, and doing appropriate exercise.

1. Maintain a happy and relaxed mood. Morning sickness is an instinctive reaction of the body for self-protection. Paying attention to maintaining a happy and relaxed mood, listening to light music, and relieving psychological pressure can minimize vomiting acid water and have no adverse effects on the fetus.

2. Reasonably allocate diet. The diet of pregnant women should be rich in nutrition, light and delicious, and easy to digest. In terms of taste, there is no need to be too taboo, and the dietary habits and preferences of pregnant women should be taken into account as much as possible. Alcoholic beverages should be absolutely prohibited, and meals should not be eaten too full to prevent increased pressure in the stomach and elevation of the diaphragm. Pregnant women should eat small meals frequently and slow down the speed of eating, chewing food thoroughly. Especially for dinner, it should not be eaten too late or too much. It is recommended to sleep three hours after eating to allow enough time for food digestion.

3. Appropriate exercise. Moderate exercise can also help alleviate vomiting acid water. Pregnant women should not stay in bed all day due to nausea and vomiting. When sleeping at night, pregnant women can add a pillow to raise the upper body slightly, which can prevent the esophagus from refluxing. However, the entire upper body should not be raised too high. Starting from the second month of pregnancy, it is recommended to take daily composite vitamins to increase the intake of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. If the vomiting acid water is severe and the above methods are ineffective, it is recommended to seek medical help promptly and not take medication without consultation.
