I'm about two and a half months pregnant and have been experiencing acid reflux in my mouth. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

The hospital examination results showed that I am 6 weeks pregnant, and there were no abnormalities in the test results. Recently, for the past week, after eating anything, I always feel a sour sensation in my mouth 1-2 minutes later and constantly want to spit. I don’t know what’s going on?
What kind of help I need: I want to know what this is about? Is it due to poor nutrition or a normal reaction in the early stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. Based on your description, the recurrence of this condition after becoming pregnant is due to the decline in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the body, disruption of gastrointestinal function, increased gastric acid secretion, and shortened gastric emptying time. It is necessary to choose foods that enhance appetite, are rich in nutrients, diverse in variety, easy to digest, and prepared in appropriate cooking methods. The above suggestions are for the question "Why do I have acid reflux in my mouth after being pregnant for almost two and a half months?" I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
