Brief Answer:
She can take Himcocid and Pan-D.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Acidity and gas issues are a common problem during the first trimester. She can take Hemcocid and Pan-d. Both are safe for use. She can take Himcocid 2 teaspoons after every meal and take Pan-D on an empty stomach for the best effect.
Simple remedies will help you -
1. Eat home made, fresh, bland food. Avoid spicy, oily , greasy, fried or stale food. Avoid eating outside.
2. Instead of 2 big meals, have 5 - 6 spaced out meals.
3. Take lots of water, buttermilk, coconut water, nimbu pani etc,
4. You can take Sinate - OD tablet, this is needed just once a day, early in the morning, it will help your nausea.
5. Before sleeping, take a glass of chilled milk at night.
6. Sleep with pillows propping up your head at night.
7. After any meal, avoid lying down or sleeping for atleast 2 hours.
8. Avoid stress or worrying, as it compounds the acidity.
9. You can add simple items like lemon,cinnamom, ketchup to your food instead of chillies and spices to alter the taste and improve your nausea.
10. Take regular folic acid supplements.

Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer:
Avoid doing any stressful exercises.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
It is not advisable to do any asan during pregnancy which your wife is not already used to. It can cause an unnecessary pressure on the abdomen. It is better to take the help of medicines and have relief.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
