Heartburn

[poppy]

I get really bad heart burn at night. when i was in my first trimester i told my doctor and he said that he could give me something but its not recommened. Is there anything i can have now i'm in my second trimester or is it another trip to the doctors.

I've got it today but so far I've been lucky as I've not really suffered with it.

Think mine is to do with champagne and rich food last night

May I add though only 1.5 glasses

whats the difference between heart burn and acid indigestion? (it isn't a joke i really want to know!!)

Gaviscon is completely safe to take in pregnancy and has been a lifesaver for me as I've had heartburn since 2nd tri too.
Also, try drinking a glass of milk before you go to bed.

Over in the US they recommend Tums. I boght some whilst back in the UK and read the back and it's safe to take up to 7 a day if you're pregnant! And they generally work! Just one will do the trick!

Be careful though, if you're a little constipated, they can make it worse!
