Pregnancy And Heartburn: Causes And Relief Techniques

Keep Your Upper Body Elevated When Sleeping

Elevating your head and chest when you sleep can help curb acid reflux. Put a wedge-shaped pillow underneath your head and chest to slant your body upwards, which allows stomach acid to stay down. Or snuggle up to a pregnancy pillow as you lie on your left side, which requires stomach acids to travel uphill to get to the esophagus. For extra lift, consider putting blocks or books underneath the legs at the head of your bed.
