Gaviscon??

[scooby]

Have to say i to drank gaviscon like a can of cool drink with DS, i had a bottle out the back of work and would go out every so often for a swig i have already got stuck in with this pregnancy it definatly is the best for "keeping everything down" i even found it better than zantac and at that time zantac was prescription only med.

Hi there!
Just a couple suggestions - walking around really helped me. Taking deep breaths and changing positions while walking around slowly helped a ton. It's all due to your uterus pushing on everything, so gentle movement and relaxation can help a lot. If you're having a hard time you really have to ask your OBGYN - but PLEASE stay hydrated! Cutting back too much on water can do more harm than good! It's a terrible feeling, the persistent heartburn - lying down to sleep is awful! I started Zantac after a few weeks of sleeplessness and lived on Gaviscon tablets. They're convenient and I find they work better than liquid!

Good luck!!

Thanks M ... I have been neglecting my water intake, mainly because it agrivates the heartburn. I am proud to say that today I have had two glasses already and it's only just past noon .. my goal is to have six before bed time. I get extreamly thirsty after dinner, so I get lots of fluid in then, but that is also when being full and having something (diluted applejuice) sloss around in your tummy is just a killer.


I'm coping ... actually after last night's fab dinner of roast lamb, baked potato and green salad, I had no heartburn ... not even after the two pieces of chocolate .... GREAT!!
