i had shocking reflux and heartburn when i was pregnant. the only thing that helped was zantac. you can buy it over the counter at any chemist. it is perfectly safe to use whilst you are pregnant. plus you can take it any time during the day and can have up to 2 tablets twice a day 12 hours apart!!!
I found fruit tingle lollies helped when it was mild and Mylanta towards the end. I had to cut out citrus foods, tomatoes and other triggers. Milk helped lots.
Rennie for me! They taste like chalk but the relief is instant...
Also, try small frequent meals instead of large servings.
It's caused by your growing baby placing pressure on your stomach and forcing open the valve between your stomach and your oesophagus. This valve usually prevents anything from heading up and keeps everything down. Once it is forced open, those lovely gastric juices and digestive acids are free to play where ever they like! Not very pleasant, but very normal.
I had it really bad at the start and now only occasionally will I get it but the Quickeze chewy ones were the best for me cause they weren't powdery like all the others (powdery ones made me feel so sick!) And I got forrest berry too not mint which also made me feel sick!
I find that bread, peanut butter and a couple of other things make it really bad... which sucks cause I love bread right now!
