Reflux 9 weeks pregnant

[Claireb2203]

Has anyone any tips to help with reflux? It's this what is making me sick. Some days are worse then others but I get that horrible feeling in my throat like there is food there and it makes me easily sick. I'm trying rennie but not stopping it. Milk seems to help but I've just read somewhere that it should be avoided as can make it worse. And will this end soon???🤞

It’s probably not going to end I’m afraid, it’s more likely that it will get worse.

Have you been taking any antacids or anything? Gaviscon helps. It also helps some people to eat little and often rather than having big meals but that doesn’t seem to make any difference to me.

If you can’t manage it with gaviscon alone you could try ranitidine (Zantac) which is available OTC.

I had the same op, was throwing up my dinner in the evening every night by 9 weeks. The gp prescribed me Omeprezole, one tablet a day, and I haven't been sick since. Acid reflux is gone. It's been a huge relief!
