another heartburn moan

[applesvpears]

It hurts! I am tired! I can't get comfy ! Don't want to OD on Gavisvon !

[SomebodySedateMe]

Heartburn woke me up too! Have you told your midwife or GP? I got prescribed ranitidine and onezaprole. They're not working anymore though :(

[applesvpears]

It's horrible isn't it? I was told they couldn't prescribe me anything. Possibly because of type 1 diabetes? Or I am already on antibiotics for a water infection. I am just a big old mess really

[welshweasel]

Go back and insist on omeprazole. No reason why diabetes or antibiotics mean you can't have it. I now sleep!

[goodnightdarthvader1]

Er, how long are you talking antibiotics for?! Go back to the GP and if they say the same, ask them why.

[SomebodySedateMe]

I'm taking omeprazole with diabetes so I'd insist! It's been a godsend but apparently nothing is going to work for these last few weeks. My sickness has come back too. I'm a mess!

[mrsjskelton]

Sipping milk sorts me every time - haven't touched gaviscon!

[MingZillas]

Poor you, it's horrible isn't it. I remember it well.

I didn't even enjoy my after birth tea and toast because of the heartburn!

How many weeks are you?

[Everythinggettingbigger]

It's been constant for about 4 days now 👍 great isn't it! Only 22 weeks too!

[sepa]

I was told (by my colleague) that milk aggravated hers (non pregnancy related) which I found strange as it helps with curry heat.
33 weeks and mine is getting worse. Not taken anything yet though so maybe I have got off lightly.

I will be sipping the milk in the morning. Cant be arsed to move to more than my kitchen right now

[Laquila]

Sipping milk definitely helps me - I was told it neutralises the acid. Gaviscon is revolting!

[Underbella]

I read that milk probably won't help as it encourages stomach acid production.

What about drinking soda water? I flavour it with a little Robinsons juice. Although Robinsons juice is very acidic (pH 3), but the combination of these two seems to work!

[QforCucumber]

Peppermint tea is all that seems to ease mine :-( feeling your pain

[applesvpears]

I am 31 weeks, was up all night again with various things including heartburn I definitely will be trying my GP I think. The pharmacist advised gaviscon and small meals but said rennies were pointless.

[NotSoFancyNancy]

Dc3 and gaviscon in industrial quantities did nothing. Ranitidine was fantastic and so much easier than chewing or swigging gaviscon. Was prescribed by consultant.

[1frenchfoodie]

apples i've had heartburn since c. Wk 7 (now 32) and rennies work well for me - though the square tabs with calcium and magnesium carbonate. The round ones with only calcium carbonate only take the edge off.

Omeprazole is fine in diabetes normally. I am certainly a big fan of it. Taking it has transformed my "morning" (in reality, all day) sickness.
