My 'minor' heartburn disappeared at 20 weeks. As soon as I hit 34 weeks it was back with a vengeance. Not just minor either. Pretty much like you it would wake me. I was so sick with it and now it doesn't seem to want to disappear. Awful sensation that comes on at night and has me crunching on Gaviscon tablets like they are going out of fashion. They taste totally rank but at least they get rid of the problem if I munch early enough. I think i'm stuck with it now for the foreseeable future

Charlieeeeeeeee!! Hello hon, hope you're well! I bought some of the strawberry tablets, thinking they couldn't be any worse than the liquid stuff - could not have been more wrong! Urgh urgh urgh!! I keep meaning to ask the midwife if she can give me something, spare us buying shares in Gaviscon, but of course I forget while I'm actually there...

I had a bottle of gaviscon in my bag until 2 weeks after the baby was born, and a strip of rennies.

AFTER?! You mean it doesn't go away when the baby's born?! :eek:



I hate my internet. :mad:

I HATE MY INTERNET!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:



The old one worked fine. We get a letter telling us about this new super duper fantastic must have bla bla bla. Hubs says 'oooh' - I say ok. The internet never works again. I shout a lot and learn to never let Hubs be swayed by the latest gadgets. The End.

Thanks for the vibes ladies, bit more plug and feeling achy lower down but I seriously doubt there'll be any real action before I'm admitted, never mind there are advantages - they aren't going to send me home for not being far along enough, I can have gas and air quite early on (I have been looking forward to that for 9 months:D) I can unpack my stuff and get sorted before things start (I stay in the same room from admittance to discharge) It would have been nice to do it naturally this time but never mind.

I'm hearing you ladies on the heartburn front, I have eliminated nearly everything except cereal at night which has helped a wee bit but last night I took a swig of water when i woke up and that gave me heartburn!!

Gaviscon is my friend at the mo but Cutterby you are so right....the strawberry ones are rank. The only thing that i can really cope with is the aniseed liquid gaviscon! I am so looking forward to having a nice meal at night without the worry of painful acid and/or throwing up

Teenie I can only stand the mint one..

And yes it goes on after the birth, the hormones which relax mucles relax the sphincter at the top of the stomach too so until that is gone you suffer.

Good luck Princes Coupon 10 days over due must be a nightmare. I am due this Thursday and am waddling about. See I am not the only one having trouble sleeping. I was awake about 5 this morning got up about 6.30 to have crumpets and watch some tv. Went back to bed about 7 and could not wake up this morning, finally got out of bed about 12! Hope all of you suffering with heartburn doesn't get any worst, I think my baby will be smelling of spearmint rennies LOL. Good luck everyone and hopefully I wont be long X x

HI All,

Not been on for a few days but Congratulations on the new arrivals Waterbaby little one (Amy?) is gorgeous Congrats.

PC hope you pop soon either way Am sure bubs is just waiting to make an appearance when the air is right

hope everyone is having a lovely sunday - the weekend seems to have flown by and im sat here wondering where it has gone but never mind

OH has just indulged my OCD and we have spent the last hour or so sorting through all of the baby bits we have already so that we could update my spreadsheet with all of the quantities and things so we know what we need to be buying. Most of it will be bought next month but cant be bad to be organised

Im 17 weeks today and really want to be 21 weeks so we can see bean again, 13 weeks was so long ago!

Heartburn sucks - ive started getting what feels like reflux as well - gaviscon strawberry taste ok to me though - renne give me heartburn worse lol.

Got a mega bargain yesterday, bought the Tommee Tippee sensor pad baby monitor (this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001CM1XWO/ref=asc_df_B001CM1XWO2470872?smid=A2W61H83TXLAZ7&!!!!!googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B001CM1XWO) on whoopsie for £10

Tested it today and it works perfectly and doesnt seem to have been out of the box
