Heartburn!!!

[mummyto1girl]

Any suggestions to help this?

I've lived off Rennie the last few months, and have tried to drink water rather than fruit juice. I think small, regular meals are meant to help too.

I had this really bad, I drank water or milk cut out spicy foods didn’t eat late in the evening, gaviscon helped

Mine has started this week; it's horrendous. I've been trying to stick to water to drink and have been trying to eat small meals (easier said than done when you're a pig like me!!)

Also- definitely don't eat too late in the evening. I've just had my dinner with the kids and will try not to touch any chocolate when they're in bed.....I've also been drinking milk and having rennie rapeze.

I used ASDAs own brand heartburn sweets. Any chalky sweets will have the same effect :)!

Only thing that even vaguely worked was gaviscon advance on prescription....it was so bad kind of like drinking flavoured pva glue

Oh yes, last time I was pregnant I had a prescribed gloopy mixture which did help....I'm only 25 weeks ATM so I think it'll get worse.

Gaviscon. I'm 30 weeks and considering remortgaging the house so I can support my habit for the next 10 weeks 😢

After my first pregnancy I couldn't abide the idea of gaviscon or rennie. In second pregnancy I managed it by drinking pints of milk and avoiding chocolate and juice.

Try and track your triggers. Spicy foods, chocolate, tomatoes and citrus things are common!

Gaviscon Advance in the pink bottle. Absolute lifesaver. If not helping, GP can prescribe Ranitidine or Omeprazole.

Drinking milk isn't recommended, it helps initially but can cause your stomach to make more acid which makes things worse in the long run. Medication is your friend!

Ranitidine on prescription.

You can buy it in supermarkets (Zantac or Morrison’s do a much cheaper own brand) but your doctor will probably happily prescribe over the phone as it’s such a common problem in pregnancy

Go to the doctors and get omeprozole! You'll wish you did it weeks ago. Wonderful drug.
