Just wanted to add in that I have upgraded from using Gaviscon to using ranitidine and oh my goodness life at night time is SO PLEASANT!
It was getting so bad that when I woke up for a toilet stop and had a drink of water at the same time (always try to as get so thirsty), then I would find it hard to get back to sleep as the heartburn would start! So finally gave in and asked the dr for the tablets and tried them last night and they are wonderful.
Def recommend to anyone-it is hard enough getting sleep without feeling like vomiting from heartburn!!!!
ok so is things stuff fine in pregency I always thought it was not right off to chemist tomorrow to get some. Nat'sCat's that is exactly what happen to me night I get up to pee have a drink of water and then get heartburn so drink baking soda which work's but then I have to sit up for half hour to wait for it to work.
ETA I am talking about ranitidine
Beware....I was the same as Kelly & had heart burn for the three days after Cooper was born...I was gutted, so be prepared & take your tabs or whatever in to hospital with you.
I got mine from Dr (prescription) so it seems that it is okay. If you google (as I did) it will say there has never been any trials or anything but has been used for years with no side effects!
I wish I had bitten the bullet earlier coz it totally sucks at night time right!
Heartburn is awful, I hate that feeling you get when its starting to build up and you know its coming...especially when you are tucked up all cosy and warm in bed!!
I have real bad heartburn and finally went to the Pharmacist today after work and they recommended Titralac. Was $13.50 for 100 tablets so I got some. You can either suck, chew or swallow tabs. May I say.... it was INSTANT relief! Such a good feeling! Is safe during pregnancy as well of course
