Hi Ladies, hope everyone & bumps are well this morning! Just wondering if anybody had some sure fire ways of getting rid of heartburn? I am being woken up 4 or 5 times a night with it and I am spening a fortune on rennies and such like!!! Its getting to the stage where it feels like I am going to be sick and then I wake up choking and its taking me ages to get back off to sleep. I work full time and I am such a grumpy cow if I don't get enough sleep! Any advice welcome!
Cheers Tammi

hi i had it REALLY bad when pg from wk 6 until the minute my contractions started. i tried EVERYTHING! however the only thing that gave me a bit of relief was gaviscon advance its thick and better than ordinary gaviscon (which didnt work) i would recommend this but go to gp its free for you xxx

Arrrgh I know how you feel, heartburn is horrible. My oh works nights and when he comes in and I wake up it is so bad I feel sick. I tried those gaviscon cool tablets which are quite good, also milk does help xxx

Thanks girls! Will speak to my midwife on Wednesday about getting some gaviscon advance in the mean time will try more milk and fruity tum tabs! Cheers
