Heartburn tips

32 weeks today and the heartburn has officially set in as of a couple of days ago. Gaviscon dissolvable tablets don’t seem to be touching it, does anyone have any tips for what has worked with them?

I buy peptac in liquid form (just cheaper Gaviscon) and I have omeprazole from my doctor if it’s really bad ask them for it 😊

The gaviscon liquid is much better I found. Sleep on your left side and try to keep very hydrated. I find it worse when I’m hungry!

I got a massive bottle prescribed from my community midwife.
It’s huge and works a treat 👍🏼
Tastes horrid but it works well

I find liquid helps better than the tablets x

💕 omeprazole 💕 haha best thing I ever had for heartburn from the GP. Rennies stopped working for me and gaviscon knocks me sick 😂

✨ omeprazole ✨

Another shout for omeprazole - can’t believe I suffered through my first pregnancy without it 😂

After weeks of using Gaviscon it stopped working, changed to omeprazole - game changer.

Private vs first NHS scan

I’m pregnant with my first baby and I went to a private scan at 6 weeks 4 days and I went to my first NHS scan appointment and the difference in size in 5 weeks and 1 day is insane. I find it so crazy how much they grow in such a short space of time 🥹 I’m now 12+4 ❤️ I can’t wait for December to arrive

Do you think NHS kill patients?

The elderly who have no home support etc.. I'm currently with my mum at hospital and the care she receives with me being by her side is very minimal and careless. I can't imagine what the care of others looks like for those that can't advocate for themselves.

Growth Scan Referral

I went to triage for some spotting last night (also had some last week, hence the multiple plots on the chart). I’m now feeling really worried! I’ve been told I should have a growth scan tomorrow or Tuesday.

Sundown scaries 😱💀🙃

Im 6 months postpartum and I still am getting the sundown scaries I think anyways. Any one else still getting it? It’s like as soon as the sunsets never fails the anxiety hits this feeling of like the sky is gonna fall hits. And then I can’t sleep as well because my brain just starts to worry about a 1000 things. What do yall do to help with it? Can you take melatonin?

Triage

How many times have been gone in to triage for reduced movements? I’m 26+2 but baby has kicked since 18 weeks and started noticing a pattern from around 22 weeks!

What do yall think😭

My scans on the 22nd of June and I’m genuinely looking forward to it😩I’d love any gender tbh, I’m already a girl mum and I LOVE it, it’s been an amazing experience so I’d love another girl, but I’d also love to have a boy just to experience a new gender☺️I only have one ultrasound pic from when I was around 12 weeks and I wanna know if you guys can guess what gender they could be (ik the quality ain’t too great😭)
