Pregnancy heartburn

[sj1312]

I'm getting heartburn after EVERY meal... even after a drink of OJ...
Its driving me up the wall, and I dont have a doctors/midwife appointment for another few weeks to find out of continual use of ant acids is ok...
Gaviscon & Mylanta are classed as OK... but is it OK with continual use?
Mylanta has a warning on the label to consult your GP if using for longer than 14 days...

Any info would help!

I used TUMS and they are ok as long as you don't go over the max dose.

I had the heartburn from hell not long ago and then I had acupuncture for it 4 weeks ago and haven't had any since. It's like a miracle!!!!!!! Definately worth a try!

i was sucking on Rennies all day for most of my last pregnancy. Although probably not ideal many many pregnant woman do.

This pregnancy i have been seeing an osteo and a chinese medicine Dr which has helped my reflux alot. I still get it but no where near as bad.

ETA- The chinese med Dr did acupunture on me too! It rocks.

at my last osteo appy she did something for my reflux, wow!!! worked has come back today but seeing her again next week!!
i use gaviscon as i find it works best, i find althoguh rennie and tums taste the best , they didnt work for me!

I live off rennies- had 20 of the yesterday- a bad day!
today i have had any yet- its so unpredictable!!!
you can get stronger but i found that rennies work for me- even if its just short term
HTH and hang in there

So provided I'm within the recommended dose on the pack I should be right?

Thanks ladies, you've put my mind at ease
