Does the stomach get affected in the second trimester of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Dear Doctor,
Hello!
I am currently 6 months pregnant. Since five and a half months, I have been experiencing discomfort in my stomach after dinner. Sometimes it feels bloated, and other times I have severe acid reflux, which is very uncomfortable. I don’t know any good methods to relieve these symptoms!
Please look forward to my reply!!!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, don't worry too much. It's still important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a positive mindset. Pay attention to balanced nutrition, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid staying up late and overexerting yourself, and have regular check-ups. Pregnant women need significantly more calories than in the early stages of pregnancy. Appropriately increase staple foods like rice and steamed buns, as well as side dishes such as fish, meat, eggs, dairy products, soy products, peanuts, and walnuts.
