Indigestion - PLEASE HELP

I am 31 weeks and now properly struggling with acid reflux and indigestion.
I am going to request some omeprezole on Monday from my GP but is there anything that has saved anyone else?

I got omeprezole from my gp, but I also have gaviscon liquid and sugar free rennie chewable tablets

I find the standard Gaviscon too thin and very ineffective. Gaviscon double action or advanced works much better. Although, Gaviscon is very expensive, the own brand boots heartburn liquid is just as good as Gaviscon double action and half the price.

Someone told me that hot water with sugar was a home remedy … can’t see any harm in giving it ago x

I was already on omeprazole which does help and then I asked the doctor to prescribe gaviscon advanced as it’s very expensive and I’ve been choking in my sleep! Definitely worth asking x

Sonographer couldn't guess the gender at 18 weeks!

So I went for a gender scan today at exactly 18 weeks pregnant. The baby was soo active, it wouldn't sit still at all. So it made it very difficult and awkward to guess it's gender. It looked like a GIRL at first when we looked between the legs, as it was flat. But then on a side view, we could see something cropping up from the hips above the legs. So it looked like a BOY! The sonographer said she was unable to tell, so we rebooked the scan in 2 weeks. Is this normal? Has anyone else had instances where they couldn't find the gender? ...

Also I've added pictures of my baby scans from 8 week (Top), 12 weeks (Middle) and the 18 weeks (Bottom) scans for you to please guess if you can identify what you think it'll be? I'm sooo curious!

Advice/ Reassurance

Hey Guys! I’m 36 weeks and had my growth scan yesterday. Consultant advised that baby is transverse. Have to go back for presentation scan at 37 weeks and if no change, will have be admitted to hospital until a planned C-Section as they don’t want to risk natural labour. Anyone else been through something similar?
Thanks!
