2015/2016 Pregnancy

Hi Babydreaming

I have had heartburn from first trimester, at first gaviscon helped back then, but now at 29 weeks (3rd trimester) gaviscon helps for a like 5 mins!!!

I find that when baby is most active or pushing near my upper stomach I have most heartburn, at night but it does come one during the day, at night it gets so bad my chest hurts, feels like a heart attack, but it's the reflux rising, yuck yuck. I found that tea, bread and thing with too much sugar seem to aggrevate the heart burn for me.

At night so far all that's helping is eating 3 hours before I intend to fall asleep, I only have a giant glass of cold milk (no sugar before bed), and drink milk if I wake up with hunger pangs, and I have to sleep with two pillows that prop my head up, keep me elevated to prevent the reflux rising.

thanks for starting the thread, hope my experience helps a bit.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry to but in. I was pregnant last year and what helped me sometimes was good old rennies. They are safe in pregnancy.

Enjoy your pregnancies.

Hi babydreaming - what a good idea to start this group.
You are already so far, it feels like yesterday when you announced your BFP in TTC group.

I also have heartburn but one gaviscon chewie seems to work for me now. So unfortunately I dont have any advise now. With my son I never had any heartburn.

Hi ladies!

I thought i would start this thread as some of the month threads are very quiet and i would love to chat to my fellow pregnant sister about everything regarding pregnancy. Almost like the TTC 2016 board.

Anyways i really do hope you will join me here so we can share advise and all the rest if it.

Okay so i'm currently 24 weeks 4 days pregnant. We're expecting a little boy. At the moment i'm really suffering with heartburn, doesnt feel like gaviscon, tums or milk is working, any other advise?
