For women who prefer not to use antacids or find them ineffective, there are several alternative approaches to managing heartburn and indigestion. Dietary changes can be beneficial. Eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding spicy and fatty foods can help reduce symptoms. Additionally, elevating the head of the bed and avoiding lying down immediately after eating can also alleviate discomfort. Herbal remedies such as ginger and chamomile tea may also offer relief; however, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider before using these, especially during pregnancy, to ensure they are safe.
