Heartburn / Acidity (Pregnancy)

Pregnancy mein heartburn (seene/chest mein jalan) aur acid reflux bahut common hai — 40-80% pregnant women ko hota hai. Progesterone hormone food pipe ke valve ko relax karta hai → stomach acid upar aata hai → jalan hoti hai. Baby bada hone se stomach pe pressure bhi badhta hai. TIMELINE: → 1st Trimester: 20-25% women — hormonal → 2nd Trimester: 40-50% — baby growing → 3rd Trimester: 60-80% — maximum pressure SYMPTOMS: → Seene/chest mein jalan — burning feeling → Gale mein khatta/acidic taste → Khana khane ke baad worse → Lete pe badhta — especially right side → Belching/dakar — frequent → Nausea — food pipe irritation se → Sone mein difficulty — raat ko worse
