Pineapple and Papaya both contain proteolytic enzymes, which help the body to digest protein.  These enzymes can help ease heartburn, which many women experience during pregnancy.  You can eat fresh pineapple and papaya or look for supplements.  As with any supplements, be sure to discuss with your doctor before taking.

Most women deal with at least some degree of heartburn especially later in pregnancy as the baby grows and puts increased pressure on the stomach.  There are many ways that you can ease heartburn naturally.  If you’d like to learn more about these and other natural solutions for a healthy pregnancy, email me today at xandra dot oneill at gmail dot com.
