Hi,

Good to hear from you so soon. Must be an anxious mother.

Any way,

Thanks for the information.

Please note that as the pregnancy advances and baby grows inside the stomach is displaced due to growing uterus. This alters the arrangement inside and affects functioning of the G.I.System. This leads to the kind of problem that you have.

This is experienced by most of the pregnant females to variable extent.

Again iron tablets add to the problem.

Please do following.

Take small frequent meals in place of couple of large meals.
Do not lie down immediately after meals.
Take more of liquids
Avoid spicy food and special condiments etc.while cooking.
Please remain active.
Go for regular walk after meals especially in evening.
Continue with Diovol.

Wishing you all the best for the time to come.

I hope this helps.

Please write again if you have something more to ask, in case you do not have further query please accept the answer.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh
