Heartburn relief during pregnancy is a common concern many pregnant women have. Read on to see what you what heartburn remedies during pregnancy are available.

What causes early pregnancy heartburn?

Heartburn in early pregnancy is a common complaint. The hormone progesterone is released as soon a woman becomes pregnant and can cause many early pregnancy symptoms which include pregnancy heartburn. Progesterone causes relaxation of the cardiac sphincter of the stomach which is the muscle between the stomach and the esophagus (food pipe). Relaxation of this muscle allows for some gastric acid and food to flow backwards and re-enter the esophagus (food pipe). Gastric acid irritates the lining of the esophagus causing a burning sensation in the center of the chest called pregnancy heartburn.

As your baby grows bigger and takes up more room in the abdominal area, the stomach itself is displaced and squashed. The growing uterus can permanently press on the cardiac sphincter of the stomach and allow gastric juices and food to constantly leak back into the esophagus (wind pipe) which may cause severe heartburn during pregnancy.

Heartburn remedies during pregnancy

Heartburn relief during pregnancy can be achieved by eating yogurt or drinking a glass of milk.

Try a tablespoon of honey in a glass of warm milk for pregnancy heartburn relief.

Eat smaller more frequent meals throughout the day rather than three large meals.

Avoid spicy, greasy, fatty foods, peppers and tomatoes produce extra gastric acid causing pregnancy heartburn.

Avoid foods that relax the cardiac sphincter of the stomach such as alcohol, peppermint, garlic, and chocolate.

Avoid eating for at least two hours before going to bed.

Do not lie down after eating to prevent the food from the stomach flowing back into your esophagus causing pregnancy heartburn.

Mild over-the-counter antacids such as Mylanta or Tums may prove helpful in relieving heartburn pregnancy symptom.

If your heartburn symptoms are severe or accompanied by headache or swelling (especially if you are later on in pregnancy) consult with your health care provider immediately as you may have pre-eclampsia of pregnancy.

Sleeping with extra pillows under your head to keep your stomach lower than your esophagus (food pipe) works very well to give you a better start to the day and a better nights sleep.

One of the most effective heartburn remedies during pregnancy is to try to prevent heartburn developing in the first place. The healthier you are prior pregnancy and the healthier you eat during pregnancy can have a direct correlation to the amount of pregnancy symptoms you have. I would like to invite you to supplement with a high quality Mangosteen and mineral product that many of my pregnant clients use to correct misalignments within the body and encourage the stomach to produce the right amount of gastric acid that you body needs for digestion.

Deciding on which dentist to use can be a very difficult decision. There are so many and it is hard to tell which ones are good. There is a dentist in my area that has been doing dental work for ever 20 years and that is one way I know that he is a good dentist. You want to find a dentist with plenty of experience. Now days, because there are so many dentists, many dentist will try and specialize in only a few kinds of treatments. This only makes it harder for those seeking dental assistance to find the right dentist.

When I’m trying to find a dentist in my area that will meet my needs, I always consider the following things:

1. Where is this dentist’s office located? If the office is far away or has limited parking, then this is something that might prevent me from visiting him or her as often as I should. Also, some offices can be located in areas that you might not feel completely safe at. You should always consider where you have to go to see your dentist when selecting one.

2. How professional is the dentist and his or her staff? Locating a dentist in my area that stands out above the others sometimes comes down to their mannerisms toward me. It is always important to feel comfortable and professionally welcomed at the dentist’s office. Part of this includes how much they show that they respect your time.

3. Like I mentioned before, you want to find a dentist that is most comprehensive in the procedures that they will do. Some dentists will only do certain ones. The dentist in my area that I see does most of the basic procedures. This is a very important aspect to consider and you should ask the dentist which one’s he or she will do.

4. Find out what kinds of anesthesia’s the dentists use. Some dentists will only use sedation dentistry and you want a dentist that can offer you a whole spectrum of choices so you can select the one that will make you the most comfortable during those painful visits.

5. Lastly, you need to find out what kinds of billing services the dental office offers. Your dental office should be flexible with your billing needs. They should make it convenient for you for every visit. The dentist in my area simply sends me a bill in the mail, and I find that very convenient. In addition, make sure that your dental insurance plan covers the services of that office.

These five steps are among the many criteria that should be used when selecting a dentist. In addition to using these steps, you can also ask your friends or family members for referrals to their dentists. You can also contact a university with that has an on-site clinic. They can refer you to a competent dentist. When finding a dentist in my area that could meet my needs, I asked my family members who they liked and why. This helped me select a good dentist.
