When i was pregnant, i used to have heartburn and acidity on eating acidic foods. All citrus foods would cause severe heartburn. I could not eat tomatoes, oranges, and grapefruit at all. I could only eat when mixed with other fruits or vegetables. Orange juice was a strct no-no for me. Once I had it after diluting with water.

Caffeinated drinks used to trigger heartburn and acidity in my case.I found it best to limit caffeine during pregnancy and avoided coffee and soda. For me morning coffee was a most but during pregnancy, I could not have it. I found it better to have something in the morning and then have coffee.
