Heartburn

What are some good antacids or remedies for heartburn ? I’ve been using tums but it’s barely affective anymore

I second Pepcid! I was going through tums like it was candy and my OB recommended Pepcid, she also suggested taking a papaya enzyme supplement with meals, you can get chewables on Amazon for a good price! That combination made a HUGE difference for me when my heartburn and reflux was at its worst in my third trimester and I’m using both again now that the heartburn is back in my first trimester with my second baby 🥲

Milk and pineapple juice helped me

I took Pepcid aka famotidine. You can get the prescription or get it over the counter or good ol tums.

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
