Possible heartburn?
Hi ladies. Has anyone experienced heartburn during pregnancy? I have what feels like a burning sensation deep in my throat/upper part of my chest between my boobs. Could this be heartburn!? I’ve never had it before so not sure. It’s quite mild but uncomfortable. Anything I can take to help ease it?

I had horrendous heartburn with my first pregnancy and I’ve had it this time round again. I’m forever popping rennies and using peptac liquid. It’s like a cheaper version of gaviscon
Sounds exactly like heartburn or indigestion!
Ive had it from day dot of this pregnancy and its just getting worse now😅
Orange Rennies are my go to along with proping myself up in bed v laying flat as it seems to aggravate it!
Also helps to keep an eye on what youve ate when you get it too as ive deffo found certain foods and drinks bring it on more than others! 🤍
I’m 23 weeks and have just started getting heartburn after I eat. Sounds similar. Gaviscon has been saving my bacon on the regular, especially when I’m woken in the night with that sicky burny feeling!
Yes I've been experiencing this too, alot, it's really uncomfortable isnt it, and has really affected my sleep.
I also got the peptac liquid which is really effective. I have also found that a few spoons of Greek yoghurt really relieves it too if like me you worry a bit about having medications..
Also eat smaller portions. Getting full aggrivates it. And eating too quick does too. Hope this helps. I'm currently up in the night with it now 😅
I have a prescription for Peptac, it remains on my bedside table - you can ask for peppermint or aniseed
