I've had it for ages and was taking gaviscon for it but it's only got worse and worse and now been prescribed ranitidine from the doctor which had helped. Try gaviscon and rennie but if it gets bad ask the doctor for something stronger. I feel your pain though as it can be so sore and burns x

Hi Hun, I had this really bad for about three months. my baby has been breech for a while too, which makes it worse. she has just turned so it's not as bad now. I have to say I found it one of the worst pregnancy symptoms. it gets worse if you bend down or lie down especially within a few hours of eating. Tips: I drank milk constantly, it really helps, before and after eating (which is good for baby's bones anyway) If you have washing, cleaning etc to do where you need to bend down try to do it before breakfast. when you first go to bed use about three pillows and suck on a rennie or a gaviscon tablet (you can take both of these without worrying) I used to get rid of the pillows on my first night trip to loo. Make sure your bra or over bump trousers are loose. Anything round the chest makes it worse. Good luck with it xx

I've had it but not too bad thankfully, have been using rennie and it helps enough... It is worse on some days though and then I just bitch and moan to OH and it makes me feel a little better lol x

gaviscon and milk have plenty of them, I have had this realy bad from the start, only gets worse as well . try and watch what you eat as I have noticed certain things tend to make it worse, like eating chocolate, oranges, drinking tea, bread and alpen bars seem to set it off more for me. Its probably different for everyone though.
