Bloody heartburn!!!

I'm only 13 weeks but I've had heartburn from 6 weeks on the dot. In my previous pregnancy I didn't get any until baby was actually big enough to be pressing on stuff in the third trimester. I'm so fed up. Rennies and gaviscon did sweet fuck all so I'm on omeprazole. Which does help (though I have to say doesn't take it away completely) but I really don't want to be on PPIs long term. However if I even miss one dose of omeprazole I know about it.

Diet, raising my pillows up etc does absolutely nothing. Anyone else?!

I was on omeprazole before I got pregnant so absolutely dying without it now I'm taking gaviscon extra tablets they do help but have to take them throughout the day I can't stomach the liquid.

You can still take omeprazole in pregnancy, did they tell you you couldn't?

@Notahotmess yes I was told not to take it before 14 weeks but I'm in Ireland so might be different guidelines , I'm 20 now I'm managing ok with gabiscon so never went back in the omeprazole
