“孕34周，嘴里一直有股酸酸的味道”孕期烧心怎么办?

　　胃灼热

　　Heartburn

　　在怀孕期间胃灼热是超过50%的女性都会经历的困扰，特别是在孕中晚期。虽然通常没有什么严重问题，但胃灼热让人很不舒服甚至很痛苦。胃食管反流通常称为“酸反流”或“胃灼热”。

　　Heartburn during pregnancy is a doozy with more than 50% of women experiencing this symptom, especially during the second and third trimesters. It is not usually a sign of a serious problem, but it can be quite uncomfortable and even painful. Gastroesophageal reflux is often called “acid reflux” or “heartburn.”

　　消化不良在怀孕期间也很常见，并且可能伴有胃灼热。消化不良仅仅是肠胃不适的另一种说法。如果你感到饱胀，气馁或臃肿，你有消化不良!

　　Indigestion is also common during pregnancy and can occur with heartburn. Also known as “dyspepsia,” indigestion is just another name for an upset stomach. If you feel full, gassy, or bloated, you have indigestion!

　　当你胃部的胃酸被推向食道时，就会导致胃灼热。这会导致胸骨后有烧灼感，这种感觉从胃部不断升上来。你的口中也可能有酸味，或者说你的喉咙里有呕吐物不断涌上来(正如我们所说的，怀孕是让人惊喜让人愁的)。治疗胃灼热很重要，因为这会让你吃不好饭，如果你不吃东西，你的宝宝没有得到适当的营养。

　　Heartburn occurs when gastric acid from your stomach is pushed up toward your esophagus (the pipe between your mouth and your stomach). This causes a burning sensation behind your breastbone or one that starts in your stomach and seems to rise up. You may also have a sour taste in your mouth or a feeling that vomit is rising in your throat (as we said, pregnancy is amazing, except when it’s not!). It’s important to treat heartburn, as many times it will cause you not to eat properly due to the pain, and if you’re not eating, your baby is not getting the proper nutrition.

　　如何预防或治疗怀孕期间的胃灼热?

　　1. 全天吃6顿小餐，而不是3顿正餐。这可以防止你的胃太撑。

　　2. 不要过于靠近就寝时间(2-3小时前)

　　3. 用枕头垫高你的头，使其高于你的胃。你可以购买一个斜角枕头，它可以让你保持良好的角度以避免食物倒流到食管。

　　4. 不要食用辛辣食物或其他容易引起胃灼热的食物，如巧克力，油炸食物和咖啡因。

　　5. 如果您尝试了以上方法都没用，则可以在医生指导下安全使用抗酸剂。碳酸钙抗酸剂通常是可以使用的。

　　1. Eat 6 small meals throughout the day instead of 3 regular meals. This can prevent your stomach from becoming too full.
