“Hey Holly, My wife just recently found out she was pregnant. She actually knew before we bought the test kit because she has been experiencing really bad heart burn / indigestion. It wakes her up several times a night. Can you provide some advice on how we can tame her stomach a bit?”

Most women suffer from heartburn at some point during pregnancy. Here are some things you can do naturally to alleviate it.

• Drink water more frequently throughout the day instead of a lot at one sitting, and don’t drink any while eating
• Chew your food until it’s liquid
• Drink marshmallow root tea (herbal infusion)
• Drink ginger tea
• Eat Papaya and Pineapple- both are loaded with digestive enzymes and if eaten between meals or before a meal, they both helps to keep heartburn at bay.  This one is my personal favorite!
