Gaviscon advance is part of my daily routine now 😆
welcome to November:) touch wood not had heartburn yet. x
@Rachel I had gaviscon with my 1st pregnancy omg made me feel sooooo sick :(
@Kirstie oh no. I couldn't cope without it at night. Hopefully you miss that bit out this pregnancy
@Rachel oh I hope so because God gaviscon made me feel 100 times worse. honestly would rather have had heartburn
@Kirstie if it does get bad the doctor can prescribe tablets for GERD which I took during my first pregnancy. Keep in mind incase needed
I find that tums are good I just have the one though and it works as don’t really like taking things!
Welcome in the November group 😊 I have found that sipping milk when I struggle with heartburn gives me instant and long enough relief to be able to fall asleep. 💚🤞
@Nell I’m 27 1/2 weeks and on metformin and insulin already 😩 the heartburn is a killer isn’t it. Mine seems to be the worst at night. Gaviscon is life 😂
@Sarah yes I don't really get heartburn too bad throughout the day. At night it makes many appearances! I'm on the Rennie tablets at the moment, because I had gaviscon with my first pregnancy and it was vile. Is the insulin and medication keeping it easily within range?
@Nell no I’ve only been on them since Friday but still having high readings after some meals. When I am in range it’s only just, but I’m back at the diabetes clinic this morning and I believe the meds are getting upped so that should help x
Hey, I have GD aswell. This is my second time. First time I was induced at 37 weeks and this time I will be having a section at 37 weeks so in only 5 weeks time 🫣 I’m on metformin and insulin. Honestly my heart burn has been awful this time round especially on a night like acid burning my throat so had a doctors appointment last week and was prescribed omeprazole and honestly it’s been a game changer! X
@Shanice oh thanks! I will definitely go back to the GP if it continues to get worse! They’ve said I might well be induced at 37 weeks too,depending on growth of my baby. My birthday is 13 days before my due date (I’d be 38+1) so I might get an early birthday present yet 🤣 (at least then I can have a glass of fizz as it’s also my 40th 🤣🤣🤣) x
@Sarah haha, silver linings 🤣🤣
Urgh the heartburn is awful isn't it. I'm on Metformin for my GD fasting levels and it's made my heartburn even worse🫠.
