Heartburn Tips during Pregnancy

Heartburn is a "burning" feeling that seems to come from an area near the heart and is sometimes a problem during the last months of pregnancy.
What May Help?:
Eat five or six meals a day instead of two or three larger ones. Avoid fatty, fried, and spicy foods. Wear clothes that are loose fitting around your waist. Try to relax and eat slowly.

Tips to prevent heartburn:

Try putting a pillow between your knees to help ease the strain on hips and knees.
Decrease your fluid intake in the evenings (but not during the day) and avoid caffeine to avoid heartburn.
Eat little and often. Drink milk or herbal teas with chamomile or fennel after eating.
Eat peppermints after eating.

This calculator predicts ovulation dates based on the date of your last period and the length of your menstrual cycle. It provides approximate dates only. Having intercourse during the few days before ovulation will give you the best chance of becoming pregnant. Since sperm can survive for several days, keep in mind that these are not the only days to become pregnant.

Remember: If your periods are irregular, this calculator is not a good way to predict your ovulation dates. Speak to your doctor about other ways to help you identify when you can conceive.
