1. Eat light meals regularly

Pregnant women tend to eat more due to their increase appetite.Most people see this as a good thing which it is, but the truth is that if you eat big to satisy your hunger, you are opening the door for heartburn. Eating light meals round the clock will prevent acid production and morning sickness.
