Is this heartburn?

[TreeSparrow]

The last few nights when lying down it feels like liquid is seeping up to my throat and if I don't sit up or prop myself up it feels like I will be sick if I burp. No pain or burning, just very unpleasant!

Oh yes. Welcome to the firey pit of pregnancy digestive hell! It will likely get worse.

Joy. I'm 31wks at the moment so no lying completely flat for 9-11wks? Can you take anything to help it?

There is gaviscon etc but I find a glass of cold whole milk works wonders.
I don't get it the whole time, mad worse by eating late, spicy or fatty foods, position of baby.

*made worse

You need gaviscon pink bottle (double action), the only thing that worked for me. Don't bother with a spoon, you'll end up carrying it in your handbag and swigging from the bottle.

Ok thanks for that. I'll pick some up today.

I rotate gaviscon and rennies as they only seem to work for a while for me. Yes to swigging from the bottle.
And zantac is supposed to stop the actual problem, it's definetly not as bad if I remember to take one everyday.

Oh Christ the heartburn!!! Had it awful this time. Second the glass of cold milk and also swigging gaviscon by the bucketload. If its true what they say about hairy babies , I think I'm about to give birth to a baby orangutan

Tried milk last night and it worked well so I'll stick to that for now. Thanks everyone.

I can't stand milk so have been swigging on chocolate milkshake - the frijj reduced sugar one!
