Heartburn

[Little Monkey]

Hi

I have been having really bad heartburn for the last few nights to the point where its making me sick. I have tried gaviston but that makes me throw up. Is there anything else I can take instead. I dont see the midwife or consultant again until my 20 week scan on 25th Feb and I cant wait that long.

Thanks

Nikki

Tums, though they don't work for me. I just sleep in my recliner and hope it helps. I also try not to eat for about 3 hours before I go to bed. Hope it gets better for you

drink milk. period.
thats the only thing that helps me, and I get sick from it too. it calms it amazingly. just drink a small/medium cup of milk every time you get heartburn.

Thanks will buy some tums tomorrow and hope they help. Will also try the milk tonight.

I was told I may get heartburn as I have been on a coca cola diet for the last few month and just came off it, but wasnt expecting it quite as bad as this.

Rennie are safe to take during pregnancy too xXx

i take about 3 tums a day- just a heads up about them u must not exceed 4 tums a day as the calcium dose it too high

I don't know if I have ever had heartburn before (sounds stupid I know), but I think I am suffering from it as well. Everyone I know took Tums when they were pregnant. It was their favorite candy. Oh, the joys of being pregnant. Feel better soon.

I had to cut out dark leafy greens like broccoli and replace them with salads to fix my heartburn. Someone once suggested warm water with lemon to alleviate heartburn.
