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 🙂

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
