Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

During week 36, you will experience lot of heartburn and acidity as your baby cramps your digestive system but do not worry as short meals will be there to your rescue at this stage. Try not to eat too much in one go and stay away from fried, oily, spicy food that increases the chances of heartburn in you. At this stage, eat food that is rich in fiber, calcium, iron, vitamins and folic acid. Eat two types of fresh fruits every day to give your body the required fiber that it needs. Drink lots of water as this will keep dehydration at bay and also keep you away from constipation that is a major problem among pregnant women at this stage. Eat milk and milk related products like butter and cheese on a regular basis and also beneficial for the build-up of calcium in your body.
