i found mylanta tablets helped me heaps. just chew two tablets. i asked my chemist first tho cos she knew what she was talking about (more then the stupid drs i might add).  sweet ginger tea worked a treat for me too and its sooooo yummy.

I had really bad acid reflux...truthfully, the only thing that worked for me was giving birth...LOL!  I tried so many things...nadda!  Once I had my baby, acid reflux became a dim memory.

There are a  host of reflux meds that you can take while pregnant. Have you let you OB know about this, they can RX something for you.

You can also elevate you bed at night. You can either sleep with a few pillows under your head or I know some who have gone as far as to put cinder block bricks under both head posts of their bed and that has worked.

You can also stay away from the trigger foods like spicy stuff, tomatoes, caffine, chocolate. Everyone's triggars are different but those seem to be the most prevalaint.

Hi Amanda,

I suffered really bad when i was pregnant with Josh and the only think that helped besides quickease was warm tap water. I know it sounds strange and i'm not sure how i ended up drinking it but it really worked. You just sip the water and it worked straight away.

Hope this helps

Love Juzzy xoxoxoxox

HI. When i was pregnant with my boys I suffered with acid reflux and i found that ice cold water,ginger and camomile tea helped me,but i asked my doctor first before i had any of these.

For me, it got so much better when I completely cut out black tea and anything spicy. It would sometimes affect me the whole day, so I just steered clear of those things. Oh yes, and mylanta.

agree with Arna- MILK! i still suffer from this, although it was much worse during pregnancy.  Most nights i will drink a glass of milk before bed.

Also avoid soft drink, juices, foods high in saturated fats (sausages are the worst for me), spicey foods and highly processed foods.

Try to sleep upright with your belly tilted to one side to keep the babies off your stomach.  don't lay down after eating.

i lived on mylanta too.

with me I used ginger but it isnt for everyone. (i lived on the stuff)

All I could drink was cool water. not ice cold but not tap cold.

good luck sweety and I pray it eases up for you soon

MILK!!!!!  Pure and simple.  Full cream milk at that, as the low fat stuff doesn't have the same effect.  You can't drink to much milk when you are pregnant.

The only antacids I can use are Rennie.  They come in a red package and are spearmint flavoured.  They also come in bulk (48) which is what we go through in about a fortnight! lol.  They are different to alot of products out there because they don't contain aluminium, which is actually an acid producing substance when it mixes with stomach acid.

Iced water can help too, or ice cubes.  I lived on them through all my pregnancies! lol.
