I was diagnosed with acid reflux last year and have been taking Omeprazole ever since. It says on the leaflet to talk to your Dr before taking this medicine if pregnant.
So I stopped taking it when TTC. Luckily I fell pregnant the 1st month & am now 7+1.
I am suffering from heartburn quite badly and went to Drs for some Gaviscon. She told me off for stopping the Omeprazole and said it does no harm to the baby.
I've been looking on some American websites & they say not to take it as it can damage the unborn baby.
What do I do? Being so early on, I don't want to take anything I shouldn't.
Is it a case of Britain being behind in medicine or America being to picky?
Are any of you on it? If not, would you take it?
Thanks
