Is anyone else experiencing heartburn/indigestion at 26 weeks! I feel like I’m eating gaviscon chewies like smarties 🤣

Tums! My midwife prescribed me omazeprol because my heartburn and the acid reflux was making me throw up literally everyday. With my first son he was born with quite a bit of hair. I had awful heartburn from 30 weeks. This pregnancy its started from about 25 weeks and its absolutely awful. Omazeprol doesnt work instantly but does work if you take one a day. But tums have been an absolute life saver for me

I've had heartburn and indegestion the whole way through from around 4 weeks, I have found rennies much more effective than gaviscon but you can take both together.

I would say to go gp as I had the samething earlier on and I was prescribed medication. They said I had to much acid in my stomach. I would eat and then throw up or my stomach and chest would be on fire. They said to me gaviscon won’t help sounds like you have the samething. I was also drinking gaviscon like water 😭

Gaviscon works for me too but the main thing for me is a plain diet. Just very basic & healthy food. No sauces (especially not tomato sauce), no take aways, avoid milk, caffeine, reduce sugar, chocolate...
It sounds boring but it's the most effective for me, and helping to stay healthy too 🙂
