heartburn?

[MyLittleJellyBean]

I seem to be getting heart burn more and more lately, its really painful!! Rennies don't work for me, and Quickeze do but sometimes not for very long. Any tips please??

I suffered from bad heartburn and rennies or quickeze wouldn't work for me. I tried Tums and they worked wonders for me. Also a glass of milk helps.

hi there

I sufffered badly with my first bub and I found that tums and zantac worked best.

Zantac is safe to take throughout pregnancy and I found one just after dinner would last all night..

I was suffering badly with it and didn't think to mentionit the Obstetrician (thought there wasn't anything he could do). I mentioned it in passing once and he put me on Losec, it was pure heaven. I coudl sleep again. Tell your doctor how bad it is.

I've been trying gavsicon tablets (as opposed to liquid) and they seem to be working best.

Also, as much as I hate to, I've been cutting my meal sizes down to half. Large meals always seem to make the indigestion better.

The only consolation is it does go away with birth!

Cool Mints, Cold water and Apple and guava jucie worked for me!

Goodluck :fingerscrossed:

i had horrific heartburn and refulx when i was in the hospital last week (for high BP... it was just coincidental that i had bad heartburn as well!). one of the midwives gave me some mylanta which worked quite well.

other than that, i find a warm cup of milk works wonders for me.

Ice cold milk and liquid mylanta!!;)
Have used it only once (mylanta) but didint need to get up and drink milk 5 times afterwards!

I mentioned it to my Obs and she put me on some great medication you take every day and it worked a treat.

try drinking some low-fat no-fat milk after meals. it seems to help cause milk is a base and will neutralize the acid. also try not to eat 2 hours before bedtime and if u do eat stay upright for 30-45 minutes before u lie down. That worked for me in my last pregnancy. I would do that before trying meds and u can always use the calcium. :)
