Extremely bad acid reflux at 28 weeks

Any recommendations on what has helped with acid reflux?
Ive tried gaviscon and can’t keep it down (liquid and tablets) because im also struggling with HG.
Ive tried omeprazole tablets that my consultant prescribed me but they didnt do anything and the midwife and consultant do not want to prescribe me anything else because i already take multiple other medications for various things.

Ive tried everything ginger (absolutely no hope)
Ive tried milk (absolutely no hope)

If anything else has worked for anyone please help me!!
I’ll try anything at this point!!

I use tums, I’m not sure if they sell them here I got them while I was away abroad but only thing that seems to stay down and helps me!

rennie?

I use the chewable rennies

I also use Omeprazole and they saved me through this pregnancy up until now, now I'm also dealing with acid reflux constantly! I will use Rennies now... and hopefully the combination of Omeprazole and Rennies will help. Maybe you should try that combo too? Otherwise I don't know. Nothing helps for me such as small meals and stay away from chocolate or Coffee.... I get acid reflux from water!

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

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 😂🥲
