heartburn / reflux

[laurah87belfast]

Has anyone got it so bad its stopped them from eating??? I cant keep anything down at all!? If I do it burns to the point where im in tears. Gaviscon helps for ab a min then its back to square one. Anyone had this im.39+2 maybe that has somethin to do with it but its become unbearable these past 2 days... xxx

I take zantac 75 almost every night because I have acid reflux really bad too. Doctor said it was fine to take for me and baby. I sleep so much better with it!

I asked about it because it was waking me up at night lately and my dr told me tums, gaviscon and if it still bugging me I could take zantac once a day and it would be safe for me and baby...

all are over the counter so I didn't need a script to get them.   have you talked to your dr about it yet?

I have the similar situation since the week 6 although I am only in week 14 as if today. I only get some relief by having yoghurt or any high fiber cookie that will absorb the acid. Sometimes it really is so bad that my throat gets raw and I can barely look at food. But I have found that if I do manage to eat I generally feel better.

I had heartburn/acid reflux so bad that I lost 20 lbs. My doctor had me take Prevacid (sp?) for 2 weeks. When that didn't work he gave me a prescription for Protonix  (sp?). It took 2 weeks for it to start working. I am now 26 weeks. I've gained some weight back but I still struggle with it some days. It's no where near as bad as it was in the beginning though.

I also have it with my last child and this one as well .... I take max strength famotidine tables (acid reducer) every morning with my prenatal before I have breakfast and when needed I have the smoothie tums the tablets normally last me all day depending on how much acidic foods I eat

Yeah all my pregnancies have been that way. Breadsoda and milk is great. But too much can sort off leave your throat sore. But since your almost due you probably be ok. I was drinking it from day one with my 2nd and 3rd baby. After a few months i couldnt swallow properly because of it. But it really really helped the heartburn.
Im 9 weeks with this baby a d its starting already but im trying to keep it at bay. Im drinking lots of milk and very little spicy things. It seems to be working as so far my heartburn is ok. It is usually alot worse by now. I also find eating an hour bwfore im due to lie down helps

I've had it my whole pregnancy. I am 36+4 and myy doctor gave me Pepcid to take which helps me. You can also try milk.
