Health Tip: Easing Heartburn During Pregnancy

By Diana Kohnle, HealthDay Reporter


(HealthDay News) -- While heartburn is a common discomfort of pregnancy, there are things you can do to help keep the problem at bay.


The American Pregnancy Association suggests:



  • Instead of three big meals a day, eat smaller meals more frequently.

  • After eating, sit upright for about an hour.

  • Steer clear of foods that are spicy, greasy or high in fat.

  • To help ease heartburn, drink a glass of milk or eat a yogurt. Or mix a tablespoon of honey with a glass of warm milk.
