Either it hurts the lower back, or it mercilessly vomits from the smell of a recently favorite dish, or it doesn’t let you live. Some women complain that they felt like fire-breathing dragons for most of their pregnancy. But now they proudly and knowingly tell their friends in misfortune what to do to get rid of heartburn during pregnancy. Still, because they are now real connoisseurs. So, what will help to cope with heartburn and calm your “fiery volcano”?
What is heartburn?
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the lower retrosternal or epigastric region, throat, as well as a sharp sour taste in the mouth. This condition is provoked by the fact that the contents of the stomach are thrown into the lower esophagus, thereby irritating the mucous membrane. Statistics show that more than 80% of women complain about it. Most often, this condition occurs already in the second half of pregnancy, when the fetus is large enough. As a rule, heartburn develops some time after eating. For some women, it lasts just a few minutes, while others suffer for several hours. If a woman suffered from heartburn in the morning, it does not mean that the attack will not recur later - during the day she can return several times. One thing reassures: heartburn and all the unpleasant sensations that occur during heartburn do absolutely no harm to either the pregnant woman or the baby. However, this does not mean that it should not be fought.
Why does heartburn occur during pregnancy?
Heartburn in early pregnancy (before 13-14 weeks) is caused by changes hormonal background that occur from the first days after conception. The hormone progesterone, which is now produced in a larger volume, relaxes all the smooth muscles of the woman's body. The sphincter, the muscle that separates the stomach from the esophagus, also relaxes. It is the sphincter that prevents food from returning from the stomach back to the esophagus.
Heartburn, which occurs in the second half of pregnancy, occurs due to an increase in the size of the uterus. This organ, rising, puts pressure on the stomach, lifting and flattening it, as a result of which the contents of the stomach fall back into the esophagus.
There are certain factors that increase heartburn or even provoke its occurrence. Among them - taking antispasmodics, wearing tight clothes, a heavy dinner before bedtime, drinking coffee, carbonated drinks, spicy foods, spices, sour vegetables and fruits. The same applies to various sauces, mayonnaise, sausages and even chocolate. True, a pregnant woman is unlikely to wear tight clothes, drink analgin, or use any of the above.
Heartburn treatment during pregnancy
Heartburn can be treated with medication, but not all of them are approved for use during pregnancy. This means that a pregnant woman should never self-medicate! There is no adviser, neither mom, nor girlfriend, nor television advertising. To date, the most famous of the antacids is Rennie. Take it, according to the instructions, you need 45 minutes after eating. In the second and third trimester, Ranitidine and Omeprazole are allowed to be taken. But the so-called folk ways everyone can try future mom, but only those that have already been repeatedly tested and the effectiveness (and safety !!!) of which has been proven in practice. It is better to use medicines when nothing from the tried already helps, and it is already unbearable to endure.
So, a pregnant woman, as a prevention of heartburn, should:
- improve nutrition: you need to eat often (5-6 times a day), but in small portions, do not eat "heavy" and spicy foods. Doctors do not advise making the last meal just before bedtime (preferably at least 3 hours before);
- drink boiled milk (in small portions and throughout the day).
And for a future mother who is already trying to get rid of heartburn, the following tips will help:
- Take raw oatmeal and a small amount chew them during the next "attack". Hazelnuts or almonds, sunflower seeds, grated carrots will also help.
- Non-acidic jelly or freshly squeezed potato juice will save you from heartburn. These drinks coat the stomach and esophagus and soothe the lining of the esophagus.
- A pinch of grated on the tip of the tongue helps to cope with heartburn. With the same success, you can chew a piece of fresh root crop.
- Sleep on your back. This will avoid squeezing the stomach. Moreover, it is best to lie in such a way that the upper half of the torso is higher than the lower.
- After eating, do not lie down and bend over for the next 40 minutes.
- Try not to be nervous and avoid stress as much as possible. Not only that developing baby this is completely useless, so the woman will also suffer from heartburn.
- Don't wear tight clothing. Now is the time to update your wardrobe and buy special clothing for pregnant.
There are several recipes for decoctions of herbs that save you from heartburn and that you can take during pregnancy:
- Take 200 milliliters of boiling water and fill them with 10 grams of centaury. Wait a few hours to insist. Then strain and drink four times a day, one tablespoon.
- Take 15 grams of common heather and pour 500 grams of water. Boil for 2-3 minutes. After infusion, you can use. You need to drink this decoction several times a day, half a glass at a time.
If someone advises to save yourself from heartburn with ordinary soda, do not listen to these "advisers". Of course, this method is widely used and even helps a lot, but soda contributes to the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This means that heartburn will return with renewed vigor after a while.
Take care of yourself, and let nothing overshadow your pregnancy!

Heartburn is one of the most frequent and intrusive complications during pregnancy. At least 80% of women, or three out of four, experience strong feeling burning in the mouth, under the spoon or behind the sternum during the period of bearing the baby. The reasons for the emergence of medicine are known: "guilty", relaxing the muscle muscles (which provokes the reflux of hydrochloric acid into the lower esophagus), as well as the growing fetus and uterus, which constrain all internal organs, including the stomach. The burning sensation during pregnancy is also intensified because during this period the secretion of hydrochloric acid increases.
However, heartburn is not a disease, but a symptom. But so hard to bear by expectant mothers that the search effective remedy from heartburn during pregnancy do not stop, despite the fact that many of them have already been found. The only good news is that neither the baby, nor the pregnancy, nor the mother is threatened with heartburn with any serious consequences.

Medicines for heartburn during pregnancy

The main pharmaceutical assistants in this matter are non-absorbable antacids, that is, those that neutralize the action of the acid and are not absorbed into the bloodstream. Well proven Rennie. He is loved by both patients and doctors, but the latter warn: you should not get carried away. The high content of calcium in the preparation can adversely affect childbirth, causing premature ossification of the baby's skull.
In principle, all antacids contain calcium, magnesium and aluminum. Therefore, their help can be resorted to only in rare cases and only after prior consultation with a doctor. Magnesium can be dangerous in the last trimester, causing aluminum to replace calcium in the body. Products containing sodium bicarbonate should also be avoided. Do not take drugs containing bismuth nitrate (for example, Vikalin).
In the fight against heartburn during pregnancy, Smecta, Maalox, Phosphalugel, Almagel, Taltsid and others can be prescribed. Please note that it is impossible to combine them with taking other drugs. There are also more "serious" remedies that doctors prescribe in severe cases and with persistent manifestations of heartburn, when nothing else helps.
If you are a fan of homeopathy, then contact a professional homeopathic doctor so that he selects the most suitable for you. suitable remedy from heartburn. This can be Pulsatilla (if the last food eaten is belching, the stomach rumbles and seems to be empty, worse after eating fatty foods, and you have a very changeable mood), Nux vomica (with bitter-sour belching, bloating, metallic taste in the mouth, aggravated by tight clothing), Sodium chloride (sweetish watery eructations, restraint in emotions, spasms, aggravated after eating starchy food), Causticum (with, heaviness in the stomach, aggravation occurs in conditions of high humidity and cold) .
But still, no matter how much it burns, you must first try to extinguish this internal fire with folk remedies.
Folk remedies for heartburn during pregnancy
Here you can try everything that is not prohibited, because each organism reacts differently to the same drugs, and often mothers experimentally find the most unexpected solutions to this problem.
So, people advise to seize and drink heartburn with the following foods and drinks: sunflower seeds, stale bread crust, chocolate, milk, Borjomi, clean chilled water, clean warm water. It is useful to take enveloping meals and drinks. It can be cereals, kissels, herbal decoctions (chamomile, alder, St. John's wort). But with herbal medicine, be extremely careful: many are contraindicated for internal use.

Instead, review your diet and behavioral habits.

Exclude from it all foods, drinks and dishes that provoke the release of hydrochloric acid: rich and fresh pastries, sour berries and fruits, coarse fiber, fatty meat and fish, hard-boiled eggs, chocolate, ice cream, carbonated drinks, as well as everything smoked, roast.
Instead, include in the diet foods and drinks that neutralize the effect of hydrochloric acid: milk, cottage cheese, cream, sour cream, steam omelette, creamy and vegetable oil, lean meat and fish, stale white bread, natural apple bite (1-2 teaspoons per glass of water - drink in small sips).
Be sure to switch to fractional meals: very small portions 5-7 times a day. Eat slowly, chewing your food thoroughly. The last meal should take place 3 hours before bedtime. And in general, you can’t go to bed immediately after eating: you need to stay upright for 30-40 minutes.
If there are no contraindications to this, then sleep with a slightly raised upper body. If heartburn breaks out in the middle of the night and gets worse at every turn, get up, eat something small and harmless (such as biscuit cookies), drink water and walk around a bit.
IN Everyday life bending forward, tight clothing, constipation, and antispasmodic medications should be avoided (but with indications, the choice is made, of course, in favor of the latter).

Heartburn is a frequent companion of pregnancy. On early dates it is caused by hormonal changes, an increase in the level of progesterone in the body, and in the later stages, a growing fetus that presses on the stomach. Remedies for heartburn during pregnancy should be not only effective, but also safe. The fight against an unpleasant symptom begins with the correction of nutrition and lifestyle, if these measures do not bring relief, then the question arises of folk and medications.
It is unlikely that it will be possible to eliminate heartburn for all 9 months, but it is quite possible to reduce its manifestations. Not all expectant mothers are suitable for the same means, each organism is individual, so the selection is carried out empirically.
Choosing a medicine for heartburn during pregnancy is necessary only if the correction of nutrition and lifestyle in general does not bring results.
First of all, you should reconsider your diet:
- reduce portions to prevent overeating;
- refuse fried, fatty foods, smoked meats, hot sauces and seasonings;
- exclude acidic drinks and foods;
- limit the consumption of vegetables with a high content of fiber - white cabbage, garlic, onions, radishes, radishes;
- at the first sign of heartburn, give up mushrooms, nuts, black bread, chocolate, coffee and strong tea.
An example menu might look like this:
- Breakfast: milk porridge, bread and butter, tea, soft-boiled egg.
- Second breakfast: yogurt with cookies or cottage cheese with sour cream.
- Lunch: vegetable puree soup, rice with fish, vegetable salad (except prohibited), sweet compote.
- Afternoon snack: baked apples, biscuits.
- Dinner: vegetable stew, steamed cutlet, toasted bread.
- Snack before bed: kefir or yogurt.
Dinner should be no later than 3 hours before bedtime. If heartburn is already present, then it is better to replace the steamed cutlet with a glass of milk.
To avoid burning, after eating, you need to walk for half an hour or do some business in an upright position (standing). If you immediately lie down or sit down and remain motionless, the peristalsis of the digestive tract will slow down, the food will stay in the stomach for a long time, and heartburn will appear.
It is important to follow certain motor activity and body position. Physical exercise with inclinations and tension of the muscles of the press provoke the reflux of gastric juice into the esophagus. To avoid this, you need to keep your spine straight for as long as possible during the day. This will relieve pressure on the stomach.
Clothing should be loose, especially around the abdomen. If heartburn appeared in the supine position, you need to get up, walk around a bit, drink water, eat unsweetened cookies (biscuits).
Medicines for heartburn during pregnancy
Medicines for heartburn during pregnancy are divided into 2 groups: alginates and antacids. The mechanism of their action is different, as well as contraindications, side effects.
Alginates are made on the basis of a plant component. By chemical treatment of brown algae, substances are isolated that are able to neutralize pepsin and hydrochloric acid. As a result of this reaction, calcium ions are formed. They convert alginic acid into a single network (film). The surface of the stomach and esophagus is protected by a gel layer for 4 hours. As a result, even if there is a reflux of gastric juice, it is quickly neutralized.
Alginates relieve burning retrosternal pain and do not damage the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, even in the presence of gastritis or ulcers. They have practically no contraindications and side effects. This group of drugs includes Gaviscon and Calcium Alginate. There are dietary therapeutic and prophylactic products with a similar effect - Laminal, Magnesium algalan.
Are alginates safe during pregnancy? Their use is permissible for all 9 months, since they are not absorbed, enveloping the esophagus and stomach, absorb harmful compounds, restore the microflora in the intestine, and act quickly. Cases of individual intolerance are extremely rare, rather, on the contrary, by absorbing harmful compounds in the digestive tract, alginates prevent the development of allergic reactions.
The disadvantages of alginates include their high cost and insufficient prevalence in the pharmacy network. In addition, individual hypersensitivity to the components is not excluded.
A more well-known group of drugs for heartburn during pregnancy are antacids. They are divided into absorbable and non-absorbable.
The former are used during pregnancy with great care. After they are taken, sodium ions are absorbed through the intestinal walls and cause fluid retention in the body. Appear on the legs, less often on the hands and face.
When carrying a child, the kidneys receive a double load, especially on later dates, so excess fluid is difficult to remove. An example of an absorbable antacid is baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
Most non-absorbable antacids contain magnesium and aluminum ions. These compounds contribute to the development as well as the loss of phosphorus, which can lead to a delay mental development child. Magnesium acts in the intestines, increasing its motility and causing diarrhea. This group includes Phosphalugel, Gasterin.
The best choice among antacids is combined preparations. Their formula is balanced, which minimizes the risk of side effects. Two-component antacids neutralize gastric juice, calcium contained in them strengthens bones, and magnesium in small doses heals ulcers of the mucous membrane and eliminates constipation. Combined antacids include Almagel Neo, Relzer, Gastal, Rennie.
What is better to take for heartburn during pregnancy: alginates or antacids? The former are safer, but they are not always available in the nearest pharmacy and the cost is high. The best option there will be combined antacids in the minimum effective dosage.
Folk remedies
Folk remedies for heartburn during pregnancy are safer than drugs, and at the same time quite effective.
The most common methods are:
- Infusion of common heather. In 0.5 liters of boiling water pour 1 tbsp. l. herbs, boil it for 2 minutes, then insist for half an hour. Strain the finished broth and put it in the refrigerator. Drink 1 tbsp. l. before eating.
- Infusion of centaury ordinary. Pour boiling water into a glass, add 0.5 tbsp. l. herbs, insist for 2 hours. Strain, refrigerate for storage. Take 1 tbsp each time before meals. l.
- Calamus root. It is necessary to prepare a powder from raw materials, carefully grinding it (or purchase it ready-made). Take 1/3 tsp. 3 times a day before meals.
- Fennel tea. You can purchase a ready-made collection for making a drink or add seeds to regular tea during brewing.
- Drinks and dishes with ginger. The root can be added to tea, and, crushed into powder, season dishes. At severe heartburn cut off a slice of ginger and chew it slowly.
Precautionary measures
To avoid the development of heartburn during pregnancy, you should take the following precautions:
- Without a strong need, do not take antispasmodic drugs (No-shpu, Drotaverine, Papaverine). They relieve muscle spasm internal organs, including reduce the tone of the esophageal sphincter. As a result, the contents of the stomach are thrown into it, causing a burning sensation.
- Not to accept baking soda from heartburn. This remedy is very widespread, it really quickly eliminates burning, but not for long. When soda interacts with gastric juice, carbon dioxide appears. It provokes an even more intense release of hydrochloric acid and pepsin, which is why heartburn develops again. In addition, sodium, which is part of soda, provokes the formation of edema.
- Medicines for heartburn can be taken only after consulting a doctor. Most of them contain magnesium, calcium, aluminum. With prolonged use, there may be an overabundance of them, especially if the woman is already taking mineral complexes (for example, Calcemin). The gynecologist will take into account all these nuances and, if necessary, adjust the dosage.
What helps with heartburn during pregnancy? First of all, it is necessary to reconsider the diet and lifestyle. If nutrition correction does not bring relief, then you can use folk remedies and medications.
Alginates are the safest for the expectant mother and her child, but if there are difficulties with their acquisition, it is worth choosing combined antacids (Renny, Gastal, Almagel Neo, etc.).

The occurrence of heartburn in the second and third trimester is due to an increase in the size of the uterus. Therefore, the organ, rising, puts pressure on the stomach, and then completely flattens it. As a result, acid enters the esophagus, causing inflammation of its lining. The appearance of unpleasant symptoms is also facilitated by increased acidity due to changes in the hormonal background of the expectant mother.
