Heart Burn
Anyone got any advice as to help releive this awful problem??
I am now 14 weeks and over my morning sickness,(Thank God) but heartburn is getting the best of me.
I've tried milk, then rennie, then Gaviscon, but all last about 10 mins, then same problem. I heared that Milk of Magnesia is good, but need to ask doctor before I can take!! Ahhhhhh does anyone know if I can take this???

Heartburn is horrible, I tend to get it as soon as I lie down in bed. Weird...I'm not sure why. It's not bad but it does happen more than before I was pregnant. Sometimes I cough deliberately and that gets rid of it...god knows why but it seems to work! Philippa 16+4 x x x
Hope you get it sorted to as it is a pain

The best advice I can give you is food elimination to start with (prevention is better than cure and all that!) The worst culprits for producing lots of acid are: Citrus fruits (including juices), all things tomatoes, chocolate (sorry!), coffee, anything spicy or fatty/greasy. Some of these foods might not bother you so you could try one at a time.
In the meantime, the doctor can prescribe you Gaviscon Advance which is soooo thick and really helps. I'm 29+6 now and have been swigging it out of the bottle for relief it gives me!!
Good luck x
My midwife recommended Gaviscon and it seems to be working for me. I hadn't thought about getting it on prescription-worth a try with our NHS maternity exemption cards...
Hope you feel better soon,
