Hi I'm 34 weeks pg with second baby and this time around heartburn hasn't been too bad at all.
I took some Gaviscon (the Boots brand) when I was about 25 weeks as I was experiencing hearburn, and it gave me extreme stomach discomfort (cramps and feeling sick) for about 20 minutes after taking it. And it eased off afterwards.
After that I wasn't too keen on repeating the experience so I put up with heartburn everytime I had it.
Two days ago I took some more (proper Gaviscon this time as I thought the Boots one might have been dodgy or something) and it gave me HORRID stomach cramps again for about 20 minutes with wind and belching etc... horrible.
I was wondering if anyone experienced this before while pregnant?
During my first pregnancy I literally lived off Gaviscon and in fact it helped so much with heartburn. Weird.
