I cannot deal with this heartburn anymore

I know people just think heartburn is like this minor side effect of pregnancy, but when it's all day every day and it BURNS like hell and your appetite is ruined by it, for 5 months straight, it's really no joke. I'm just so fed up of it now. Has anyone found anything that actually works to ease it?? 😢

I had horrible heart burn even before I was pregnant, so I was definitely scared for pregnancy. You can't take PPIs so I tried looking for things other than meds. What really works for me wasn't waiting tomatoes, vinegar, red meat, pork, and not drinking things that can trigger it. I ate very small meals and tried to limit how much dairy I was taking in. I know it sounds like a lot but I actually felt better than I had in a very long time. I hope you get some relief soon..

I had really bad heartburn when pregnant. The only thing that worked for me was omeprazole, which the doctor prescribed to me.

I feel gross I just do Fire burps all day

This has pretty much been my pregnancy, it’s unrelentless 😅🙈 I got prescribed something from the midwife as I have heartburn that bad it all comes up and I end up throwing up. Maybe talk to them about it and say its affecting what you can do daily as its that bad. I can’t sleep very well, have to be mainly upright and cant lie on my right side at all without getting really bad reflux straight away. Yesterday I ran out so I got some of the gaviscon chewable tablets and they work almost instantly. Not for as long but they definitely take the edge off. I found chocolate, some fruits and juices set off my heartburn so Ive been avoiding those. And also toast for some reason? If i have toast in the morning the rest of the day is pretty much game over 😅 I hope it gets better for you. You are doing so well ♥️
