How to Stop Heartburn While Being Home Alone and Pregnant

While there isn't a foolproof technique to stop heartburn during pregnancy, you can try a few preventive steps to see if they help make your symptoms a little more bearable:

• Instead of three substantial meals throughout the day, try to eat a few smaller ones.
• Consume eating mindfully and gently. The less air you put into your stomach while you eat, the less likely you are to get heartburn.
• Instead of drinking liquids with meals, avoid overeating by drinking between meals.
• Avoid eating anything fatty or fried, anything acidic (like citrus fruit or juice), or anything spicy.
• After eating, avoid lying down (and try not to eat or drink within a few hours of bedtime).
