changes and later the growing womb pressing on the stomach.
Remedies

meals more often.
- Sit up straight
when you are eating as this takes the pressure off your
stomach.
- Avoid foods
that cause indigestion problems, e.g., spicy foods, fried
foods etc.
Heartburn Causes
Heartburn is a form of indigestion
in which a burning sensation extends from the stomach into
the throat when acid is released up through the oesophagus.

through the stomach, combined with the pressure of the growing
baby.
Remedies
- Sleep well propped
up and especially keep your head up by use plenty of pillows.
- Drink a glass
of milk when you have heartburn problem. Keep a glass of
milk by your bed in case you wake up with heartburn in the
night.

or drinking a few hours before going to bed.
