heart burn!

I did with really bad with bailey, was living on milk - drunk anywhere from 2-4 litres per day and mylanta
also found smoothies or milkshakes helped too

I have bad heartburn, but milk, yoghurt and smoothies all work towards keeping it at bay. Lucky I really like milk and I went through a craving stage of wanting little other than egg sandwiches and milk. The heartburn has only really been bad since about 30 weeks or so.

I haven't tried mylanta or any other non diary related remedies!! I have heard reports that they work for some people and others not so much.

I had it very bad, and usually couldn't sleep. Mylanta was my friend (I went through 3 litres while pregnant ), keeping a carton of milk beside my bed, and I was prescribed Ranitidine as well. Apparently apples help as well. We lived on very very very bland and tasteless food for the last 3 or so months of my pregnancy.

Yip bad heartburn here too. Use Gaviscon before bed but try not to use during day unless it is bad, and find that drinking lots of water helps -must dilute things or something!   

I'm on ranitidine for it and can certainly tell when I've missed my meds for a dose. If I don't take it twice a day on time I have terrible acid. Was kept awake all last night with it, not pleasant.

For me, yoghurt and milk help.

i'm gonna have to try something other than milk as was awake some of the night last night with it.!

Is mylanta tasteless, as feel sick with the heart burn too.

Yeah, Mylanta is temporary relief for your stomach acid. I like the spreadmint flavour, or mint flavour on the liquid. Quite soothing in fact. You have to try it. So you will know. Everybody's case is different.

The stronger one is called losec, but for that one it's better chat with your GP before taking them. It used to be prescription only item.

For me, mylanta is enough. Oh, don't eat too much each meal but eat frequently. It helps too.

Ugh , heartburn , I had it with both , I think it was the worst thing about being pregnant .
I drank lots of milk , and with C I had titrilac, with Ty I had mylanta ...or was it gaviscon, I can't remember .

Thank goodness it goes once the baby is here! (tho with Ty I still had it for the first 3 days post birth)

anyway , my sympathies, heartburn sucks!

here you go escadachic

Q: What is the difference between heartburn and indigestion? They just seem very similar and in the same area with pain. Whats the difference?

A:Heartburn is a symptom of acid indigestion. Heartburn is a burning sensation generally felt in the chest caused by stomach acids traveling up your esophagus. A sour stomach is abdominal discomfort often accompanied by heartburn. Heartburn is caused by acid reflux - acid travelling back up the eosophagus which burns the inside of the tube causing the pain. The pain is felt in the chest which is why its called heartburn - it feels like its caused by the heart, but its just close to it, not actually the heart. Indigestion is cause by many things - over eating, too much alcohol, too much spicy food, too much fatty food etc. The pain is generally felt in the stomach area. I went to a gastroentreologist this week and asked the same thing. Heartburn you probably know, indigestion apparently feels like a meal that sits there for a long time. I think heartburn is more specifically a burning sensation.... indigestion is more of a fullness, like it says lack of digestion or slow digestion. Heartburn is acid reflux. Indigestion is stomach upset (dyspepsia). The two are closely intertwined and often go together.

I had severe heartburn my whole pregnancy.

I found nothing helped.

One thing you could try is tilting the top of your bed, put some timber under the posts or something.

i was also told at 35wk scan dd had heaps of hair.
