Hello,
With the question “Does stomach reflux when pregnant at 7 months have any effect? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
When pregnant, especially in the last months, because the stomach is pushed up by the fetus, it is easy to cause reflux. Therefore, you should divide meals, do not go to bed immediately after eating but at least 3 hours apart, should lie with your head high. You should also eat easy-to-digest foods, limit fried fatty foods. When severe reflux can cause.
If the above condition does not help, you need to see a gastroenterologist for specific advice.
If you still have questions about gastroesophageal reflux during pregnancy 7 months, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
