Acid Reflux: Acid reflux is very common in pregnancy. You can manage the symptoms by taking a Calcium Carbonate antiacid. This will help to neutralize the acid and reduce the gassiness while being safe for you and the baby. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water (2.5 liters) as your vascular system is increasing in volume to accommodate the placenta and baby. Avoid gas producing foods and take a probiotic
