Hi ladies, I'm 25wks and the indigestion/heartburn is getting beyond a joke.
I can't even lie down to go to sleep it burns and I have to burp a million times before I actually can get to sleep, it has even woken me up before.
What can I do to get rid of it?
Last pg I took a combination of gaviscon, mylanta, tums, and other chewable ones. But they were only short lasting, and my regular anti-reflux medication didn't help either. Sorry, not giving much hope.
Get the Gaviscon liquid in the hot pink bottle - I swear by it. Keep a bottle by your bed to drink in the middle of the night. I'm 39 weeks and still getting heartburn :(
I have finally succumbed to treating this as well. My local natural health pharmacy recommended marshmallow powder. I just now had some mixed in with natural yoghurt and fruit (supposed to mix with water/juice) - magic!!
First pregnancy I got it really bad. I was using mylanta (with not great results) and mentioned it to my ob one app and she prescribed me some tablets which were great!
With DD2 I didn't get it as bad. Gaviscon did the trick.
Zantac was my life saver!
I used quikeze mints or jalna yoghurt when i got heartburn with dd.
Fruit tingles worked for me!
sounds crazy but fruit tingles!! they are amazing for nausea and heartburn
Bicarb soda in water will do the same thing and cost you next to nothing. Which is why fruit tingles works. ;)
I took the 12hour zantac twice daily for the majority of both my pregnancies. And lots of mylanta.
I also was prescribed periet (sp?) first pregnancy to reduce the amount of acid in your gut. Drs seem to disagree about whether that's ok during pregnancy - which I found out during my second pregnancy!
I drank swags of milk which helped, and also learned to always lie on my left side -the way your tummy and oesophagus is designed you get less reflux that way.
Same problem here - fruit tingles and quickeze chews are helping a little. That and smaller meals more often.
oooh thanks ladies! So many things to try.
I think I'll try the fruit tingles first....only cause I'm sure they would be the yummiest!! hehe.
I got the fruit tingles. they worked but I also got the quickeze......how in the heck do you eat them without spewing?? Eeeewww!!!
yea I couldn't stand the chalkiness of quickeze, and they didn't really work. fruit tingles FTW!
Tums are like vitamin c chewable.
Oh thanks WilliamsMummy.
I'll try them.
