Every sip of my cup of tea hurts, is this part of heartburn late pregnancy?

[Piffle]

Cos it's driving me flipping bananas
I get like a burning pain in where I'd expect heartbrun to be.
Doesn't matter whether tea is hot or luke warm.
Tis making me very cross...

unfortunately, yes, this happenned to me. I was mainlining gavisgon in the end. This time I am finding rennies effective but I am not 100% sure whether they are ok for pregnancy - I've only had a couple so far. Last time I had to have a glug of milk with every mouthful or sip of hot food by the end. If it is any consolation it will instantly disappear once you've given birth.

Rennies is OK to take in pregnancy. If I remember correctly, it actually says on the package too.

oh arse...
Lifes few pleasures when you're pregnant and now it's painful...
Well then, I guess its remelgel with tea then.

I have been taking rennies but when i went to get some the other day the pharmcist told me not to take them whilst pregnant as they have a high sodium content and can affect your blood pressure. She said that you should avoid them unless advised by your doctor. It came as a bit of a shock as I have been munching them by the packet. The same goes for Gaviscon apparently that is why the doctors tend to perscribe other things, mine gave me Peptac liquid instead.

I´ve had terrible heatburn and tea really really hurt.. I am also taking rennie´s.. I asked in the pharmacy and they said they were fine but on the packet it says to ask if you are taking iron supplements which I am, and I didn´t specifically ask that. So I try not to take them often but they do the trick when necessary and don´t taste half as bad as gaviscon apparently does.

Oh gosh, heartburn was the worst part of my pregnancy by far. It's so much worse than normal heartburn too.

Try drinking milk - the thought of it may not be great but trust me, the relief it gives you esp if straight from the fridge is sooo worth it - I found it better thasn gaviscon.

By the end of my pregnancy I was drinking 3-4 pints of milk a day (it's good for you and baby too which is a plus) and a litre of gaviscon a week.

Trust me - as soon as you have delivered you will not feel heartburn like that again!

HTH

I had to give up tea

gaviscon ADVANCE is the way forward (normal gaviscon is pants)

you can get it on prescription

I had such bad heartburn it would be the one thing that would put me of getting pg again

as soon as sprog is spawned it will go

baby has engaged now which is blessed relief
