Awww Phoebe, your a lovely Dum Dum aren't ya? thanks for the pep talk x

I'll sit it out with ya all, I'll have a strong cuppa, a lemon puff, and a pack of rennies x

Oh and I was on omeprazole but i forgot to order more. Need to get down there and ask for some, and about 20 bottles of gaviscon x

 

[Hopes314]

omeprazole!? are you guys permitted to take that!? i was on omeprazole for years for acid reflux but dr says NO during pregnancy. she said linked to birth defects!

she said take tums for immediate relief and zantac(ranitidine) tablets if necessary. i know in our country omeprazole is under review right now because of possible negative effects during pregnancy and lawsuits are under way. yikes


EDIT-i didnt mean to sound scary!! i'm sure the risks are lowered after the first tri, and I'm sure you guys are fine. But there are a lot of conflicting studies going on about PPI's right now, so it doesn't hurt to be extra careful when it comes to baby! I would definitely re-check things with doctor to make sure its the best option though, I'm sure the risk is VERY low, but there are other heartburn medications that are considered even lower risk so I don't see why you should choose a questionable PPI if you have other options

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Thanks for the input Hopes, its crazy how different a lot of the advice is over there! My doc was happy for me to be on it, and I also checked with the hospital pharmacist. Both agreed it was fine. However since it seems to be such a big deal over there, I'm really interested to see what the research and evidence shows. I'll have a little read this eve I think x

 

[Hopes314]

I think right now theres not much leading either way. There were a few severe birth defects and women are pointing to PPI's. It all prompted extra research. I don't know how you guys rate drug safety during pregnancy, but here its like A, B, C, D, X. Right now omeprazole is a class C drug, meaning that its effects during pregnancy in humans are unclear and that it should be used only when medically required. I dont think its a huge deal, I think the drs here are more avoiding it because there are safer options that have been more studied.

 

[Hopes314]

tink now you have me reading medical journals and googling to see whats new with all that lol. I found things pointing both ways, but from what I see the general consensus is the risk is low but that not enough is known.

Heres an article about the safety of numerous heartburn medications during pregnancy, omeprazole and PPIs are toward the bottom.

And heres mention of the law suits related to PPIs. It focuses on bone fractures but also mentions birth defects.

at us both researching, thanks honey. Over here ranitidine is not given to pregnant women, its go the same sort of opinions surrounding it here as omeprazole over there......

 

[Hopes314]

I've heard poor things about ranitidine as well actually, but over here it is a class B drug, the same as acetaminophen and benadryl. It is interesting the differences!!

 

[mothercabbage]

ok i sit n wait wiv ya

You can only sit with me if you got some pink wafer biscuits

[mothercabbage]

what the feck are all these drugs you girls are talking about?? for hearburn?? im lost!
tink.. you having a wobbly day hunni.. hope you ok
having an early night with connor tonight....going up in the next hour i think..x

 

[Hopes314]

yeah, heartburn meds. General rule of thumb: take tums! lol. Different countries have slightly different views of safety of meds. But to be honest, if my country said a drug was safe and your country... or any other country for that matter lol.. said that it was not safe, i would not want to touch it. A chemical is a chemical and if doctors in Africa told me that slim jims could hurt my baby, I think I'd start trying to avoid slim jims lol.

Mmmm... slim jims..
