Acid Reflux
Anyone else suffering badly with acid reflux in pregnancy? I’ve never had it before until pregnancy but in the last week it’s getting worse I guess as baby gets bigger? I’m almost 35 weeks. Wondered if anyone had any tips for dealing with it?

I’ve struggled so bad also, it’s kept me awake at night. The only thing that’s helped me slightly is Gaviscon xxx
Oh god yes since week 29 😫
I didn’t really know what the symptoms of acid reflux was and it got a lot worse now I’m pregnant I’m 31 weeks and the only thing that helps is milk,gaviscon, and on the go I keep the sachets and the tablets as well 🤍🤍🤍
Literally woke up at 3 am tonight and still awake at 5 am dealing with this 😭
I got prescribed omeprazol and it was a miracle!
I’ve been suffering with this throughout my whole pregnancy and it’s only getting worse. It kept me awake all of last night, makes sense as the baby is getting bigger and bigger. I have gaviscon advanced at home and only really use it when it’s really bad but last night it didn’t help at all 😢
Same. Lots of gaviscon or you can get similar from the GP for free and in massive bottles. Also use extra pillows, when it’s really bad I end up sleeping pretty much sat up. Milk or drinkable yogurts also help me. Some foods will make it much worse, try and identify which ones and avoid them like the plague. For me it’s tomatoes 🙈
Yes, and I worry daily that my baby will come out looking like a bottle of Gaviscon 😳 trying to just have it once or twice a day, but the reflux is so painful.
I've had acid reflux and heartburn and I was trying to look for natural alternatives as gaviscon doesn't help me for long. I researched and found that celery juice can help. It is an adjustment to get used to the taste but I just juice celery with a pear to mask the taste and its decent, plus its healthy for me and baby! I usually just juice once every two days and it's helped
Get prescribed omeprezole! It's a game changer
Yes !! I’ve basically had it my whole pregnancy and it just getting worse and worse! I feel like I’m breathing fire 😂 I’ve gone through so much gaviscon I’m just downing it from the bottle at this point 🙄🥲
Those who are taking Omeprazole did it work straight away for you or did it take a few days? I’ve just started taking it today
I noticed a huge difference on day 2. Key is to take it first thing before any food so it can hit your stomach 👌🏻
