when i was 20 weeks i had a terrible bout of gastro - i remember distinctly because it was christmas and i couldn't eat a thing. it lasted about 2 weeks but in that time i visited my midwife to make sure everything was ok with me and bub.
i think if it's continued on this long it's probably best to go along to your GP. it could just be your body responding to pregnancy but it also might be something that you can treat.
Definitely try drinking some more water - this will keep you hydrated (very important for the baby) and help you go to the toilet if you are having trouble getting it out
my local doc and chemist reccommended mylanta. but i always thought mylanta was just for intergestion. apparently it cleans out everything through my system, and is good for wind cramps.
Ive had it twice, he said take 10 ml 4 times a day. It tastes gross,..its mint flavoured, and its like swallowing mouth wash. But if it helps, thats all i ask
Has anyone else use mylanta successfully for gas/nausea?
i had heartburn and reflux issues in the last trimester of pregnancy. i used mylanta when i was desperate (i didn't want to take any meds while pregnant). it did alleviate the heartburn but didn't get rid of it completely. worth a try though. glad it turned out to be something harmless.
