Heartburn

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations to stop heartburn? I’ve been struggling for months but the last few days it’s been extremely bad… nothing will soothe it😣 I’ve tried Rennie and gaviscon, having a small drink of milk, I only drink water throughout the day (except when I’ve tried the milk to soothe it), I’m not eating anything overly fatty or sugary

I’m at a point where I get 5 minutes of soothing from Rennie or gaviscon and then I’m in agony from it again x

someone told my friend to try eating refreshers (the sweets) when she was struggling with it because they helped her when she was pregnant, didn’t try it myself but a few people did say it helped x

I will definitely try get into my doctors on Monday and see if they’ll prescribe me this! Thank you x

aw I wouldn’t have thought they would help as they’re fizzy aren’t they? I’ll give it a go this weekend because I won’t be able to speak to the doctors now until Monday, thank you x

Next time your at the midwife’s ask her if she can get the doctor to prescribe you some, the doctor wouldn’t prescribe me stuff on their own due to trying to save nhs costs but the midwife will sort it, or use gaviscon original as I was advised that was safer during pregnancy. Hope you get sorted x

Honestly for my first and now my second pregnancy I’ve found Gaviscon to help 🤣 drink it out the bottle!, heart burn is the worst, doctors will prescribe if you ask

I just wanted to give a little update, I managed to get some refreshers last night… they’ve worked! Considering I’ve tried rennie’s and gaviscon (both liquid and the chewables) and milk (suggested by my midwife), they only worked for 5 minutes… I was a bit unsure if they would work with them having like a fizzy taste but😱 finally some relief when I’ve suffered with it for months🤣 x

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
