    Not sure if it's 'normal' but I've been feeling at bit 'refluxy' over the past couple of weeks. Your post has helped me realise what it is.

    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!

    Sympathy! I have banished tomatoes from my life, which is particularly difficult, as we've got the most lovely crop growing in our garden! Spicy and fatty foods also make it worse, and definitely nothing fried!

    I find sitting upright after meals is pretty helpful, and I sleep propped up on a latex pillow. So far I haven't gone down any pharmaceutical relief paths, but I think it's but a matter of time...

    Hope the Rennie helps you out!

    Sucks doesn't it

    I'm another one that found fruit tingles to help when it was mild and then was swigging mylanta from the bottle by the end. For me, pretty much everything gave me heartburn at the end. But as soon as DD was born, it was gone.

    I had it bad with my first pregnancy, and it started early with this one. I've discovered mylanta now do effervescent tabs which are great, they are my new nightcap!

    And quickeze chewies in my handbag at all times. No eating late, sit up until it settles and hang in there. Don't be afraid to see the dog.

    I started my labour still unable to drink anything but milk - literally as soon as the placenta delivered, I was able to drink lemonade, and eat spicy food!!!! Good luck!

    Ah Kazbah you reminded me - milk! I had a glass with every meal, sipped it slowly & it always gave me relief. I would get quite panicy if I didn't have any milk with my meal! I even asked for it at restaurants, felt silly but it was either that or suffer!
