Heartburn

[Ammy86]

Hi all

First time soon to be mum here and baby is due on 26th Feb. I have been dealing with the worst heartburn the last 2 weeks that I simply can not lay down at all as it feels like a volcano !!!!!

has anyone got tips on what works or can be done for this please ?

Oh it’s the worst. You need Omeprazole. It’s safe and effective. Last time I was pregnant a few years ago I got it on prescription without being seen and it’s a lifesaver. Don’t suffer!

Heartburn and indigestion relief liquid, like Gaviscon, but no need to buy that brand as it's very expensive, supermarket own is much cheaper. If that doesn't work, see GP for omeprazole.

I remember this. Just used to chug back Gaviscon.

Thank you ladies - I have the double action fast relif liquid form - just taken it ….

is there foods that trigger this ? Sleeping positions ? Right now I have to sleep sitting up which is not comfortable at all .

Tea, coffee, spicy food, oily fried foods, fatty food. For me the worst culprit was mince pies, very sadly, because I adore them and was quite pregnant for 2 Christmases!
