Crippling heart burn and indigestion.

[SweetPea86]

Helppppppp me! I'm 34 weeks and it's stepped up the last week, I even get it just drinking bloody water,

I can't get in to docs still Monday now, is there any thing I can buy over the counter without a prescription other than gaviscon. I've tried the tablets which are a bit better than the liquid med. nothing's helping now. I've felt ill all day. I don't care how much it's costs Monday seems like stuff a while away.

The only way to describe it is like a fireball in my chest.

You can buy Zantac over the counter which is a brand name for ranitidine which the GP could also prescribe x

I used to eat lovehearts sweets or refreshers - the bicarb of soda in them helps! I really feel for you I had terrible heartburn, I even told my husband early labour contractions weren't as bad as the heartburn in pregnancy!

Thanks ladies will try any thing, I'd drink muddy water from a puddle if it worked, :(

gaviscon double action

My lovely hubby has just gone out to try and get me every thing wrote on this page lol they have a pharmacy open till 10 so fingers crossed summit works :(

Very bad heartburn late in third trimester can be a symptom of pre eclampsia so if whatever you get doesn't help it's worth getting checked out

Omg I did not no this. If it could be a sign what else should I look out for my midwfie app the other day my blood pressure was fine, I've had no swelling and no headaches.

Mucogel it's amazing stuff

Hubby got my some of that Zantac which one lady suggested, the lady at the counter said just don't take more than exceeded dose. I've took one lets see if it helps :)

Different triggers for different people but I couldn't eat dairy, sugar, crisps. Milk made it temporarily better but hurt a lot later. Try rice, vegetables and fruit for a day and see if that helps. Then introduce things one at a time.

Try eating melon. bit random but my midwife told me and I tried it and felt it helped.
