Heart burn/acid reflux
7 weeks pregnant and I have lots of heartburn and acid reflux. Is this normal? I’m really struggling with this can’t keep food or liquids down properly it seems to come up often I’m literally on a Brat diet. Any tips would be helpful.

Thank you @Susan appreciate it x
Do you think it will go away after the first trimester I would hate to have this for the entire pregnancy? 😭
Hopefully, yes!

yeah, that sounds pretty rough, but a lot of people deal with heartburn and reflux in early pregnancy, so you're not alone! maybe try eating smaller meals and avoiding spicy stuff? hope it gets better for you soon! I actually checked the 'Heal Baby Care App' for this and here's what it says: "It's not uncommon to experience heartburn and acid reflux during early pregnancy due to hormonal changes and the growing uterus putting pressure on your stomach. The BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) can help settle your stomach, but it’s important to ensure you’re getting enough nutrients. Try eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoid spicy, fatty, or acidic foods.
