Rennies not that there working for me😩xx

Ive just tried an omeprazole see if that helps 🤞xx

Good luck!xx

Nothing really worked for me 😞 25 weeks now and it still comes and goes

The joys haha x

I keep thinking “maybe baby’s got lots of hair”, but omg it’s sooooo hard to go hours with this heartburn 😭

@Vanessa I heard this too about the hair but also read that it's because your stomach being pushed up so the acid in tummy rises also which makes sense! At least we have little gift of the baby at the end of all the discomforts 🤣🫶❤️

Only the orange flavour rennies work for me.. but deffo not taking it away completely anymore! 25 weeks tomorrow and ive noticed the heartburn getting worse and happening more oftern🥹🥹

Ah no, I'm hoping to hear someone tell me it gets better 🤣🥺xx

I was prescribed omeprazole a month ago, it worked for me but after 3 days. I took it for a week and half only and since then haven’t had heartburn.

I phoned. The doc and got peptac (apparently it’s just the same as gaviscon though) I’m in the same boat it doesn’t help! But milk tends to ease it if it’s during the night and I can’t sleep, milk will help it enough for me to have a decent sleep

Just a simple half a glass of water with a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Mix it in, and down it before it settles. A word of warning, it is absolutely disgusting and have something else ready to drink right after to mask the flavour. But it helped for me. Which isn't surprising considering that the ingredient is very similar to those in rennies and gaviscon.

Omeprazole has worked the best for me so far, though it took a good few days to work. I found peptac didn’t stop me feeling nauseous/ being sick with acid reflux. I was getting an awful taste in my mouth, am so glad I spoke to GP as it was really starting to get me down and getting hard to eat. Xx

I spoke to my midwife this week and she said if rennies or gaviscon stop working go to the GP and they can help x

Rennie's. I had lots of heart burn in the last trimester with my wee boy & he came out as bald as anything 😂 so don't be getting your hopes up thinking it's a big head of hair 😂 I also have started getting heart burn this time around 22 weeks

Milk helped me with my first..
I was really sick and had lots of heartburn doctors told me I was having multiple birth ( scan showed one) then the heartburn said baby was going to have lots of hair ( he came out bald)
Milk helps me a lot or milkshakes when I get heartburn and If I’m in bed I use an extra pillow x

Thanks all! I've got some omeprazole so I think they are my beat option for now, took one last night before dinner and didn't get heartburn before bed 🫶🩷 thank god haha I will ask the docs for more of those I think! Appreciate all your replies! 👏xxx

Had my worst case of heartburn yesterday.
Partner made me 175ml of warm water with 1tsp baking soda to drink and it resolved it within 30 minutes. Going to be using this on the regular going forward!

I had bad bad heart burn with my first, rennies helped a lot, he came with a whole head of hair, ginger too! 2nd time round I've had bad heart burn, rennies again, hoping for LG to have lots of hair too 😂 . But rennies for the win
