Horrible heartburn during pregnancy

Gaviscon, Rennie. Baking soda is not allowed.

Lemon, lemon water, narzan, essentuki, sour candies, green apples. Honestly, I couldn't stand it... These products helped me a bit, for a while. I even cried from the terrible heartburn. It went away on its own two days before giving birth.

No, not baking soda, but that... expensive mineral water, sold in pharmacies, I saw it at Pyaterochka. I'll write when I remember.

Renny as well.

Lucky you. I was still getting hit with it for about a week after delivery. Though by then I wasn't paying attention to the heartburn anymore: the stitches from the episiotomy hurt way worse!

I remembered, "Donat." It helped me.

I too remember the terrible pains. I drank brewed coriander.

Milk, sipped in small sips. And I had heartburn from certain products, I eliminated them and it got better.

If you're only 26 weeks along, your heartburn is most likely from your diet. You're not eating right. Heartburn due to organ compression starts later. I didn't take Rennie for sure, can't remember the name. Maalox, I remembered. The suspension.

Gaviscon and Rennie are the safest options. Avoid all sour, fried, salty, and smoked foods, eat very small portions, but it will only completely go away after childbirth.

Author, I understand you! But I'm experiencing not just heartburn anymore, but a constant feeling of fullness in my stomach, especially when lying down. Although I do get heartburn too. And I eat regular food, I think it's from the pressure, even though my term is shorter than yours, but everyone is different. What helps: Phosphalugel (it's safe and provides long-lasting relief), raw carrots (eating small pieces gradually), and milk – but that's temporary. Hang in there!! And try to eat small, frequent meals.

How could products that increase acidity help you - they should make it worse, right? You're confusing something or you have gastritis with low acidity, in which case your advice will only harm others. You shouldn't have sour things with heartburn.

Milk and patience

Go to the doctor immediately! This is exactly my situation. I kept looking for remedies, but when it got really bad, we called an ambulance, and at the gynecology department, they told me that severe toxemia is dangerous for both the baby's and the mother's health. I was hospitalized for almost a month. Consult professionals, not a forum; health is no joke. Wishing you a comfortable pregnancy and an easy delivery.

A handful of unsalted, unroasted seeds works well. For medication - Rennie.

Rennie, milk, food selection (eliminated tea, coffee, heavy minced meat and meat dishes, minimal salt and spices), and eating small portions. As for enduring it, my doctor strictly forbade me. She said that doing nothing is not an option; it must be alleviated, either with medication or a sip of milk. I have another issue—constant thirst. Nothing helps. I always feel like drinking, as if I've eaten a lot of salted herring.

I was prescribed Gaviscon during pregnancy.

Write down which foods cause heartburn and avoid eating them.

Borjomi.

I grab mint candies like Halls, not for long of course, but they're cheap and help :)

Lemons and apples, for your information, alkalize rather than acidify. But mineral waters acidify, especially carbonated ones. Look up tables of alkalizing and acidifying foods and the process of chemical reactions.

Small sips of milk helped me.

That's for sure, I get heartburn from sour things!

Hey girls. I suffered from heartburn for about 3 months after giving birth and didn't know how to get rid of it. But I found a great way to deal with it—I recommend checking out this link: https://detkiexpert.ru/izzhoga-pri-beremennosti/. Hope this info helps you overcome that burning and really unpleasant heartburn.

Donat Mg?

Yeah, I also took Maalox with my fourth child, it's a very effective remedy, but during childbirth my daughter was all covered in calcimin

What nonsense is this about sour apples and lemons? If I eat a sour apple, I can't breathe afterward because of such heartburn—it burns like fire.

And women, are you by any chance confusing heartburn with morning sickness?

Drink some baking soda; it will neutralize the acid in your stomach, and you'll burp like after soda. After using baking soda, the heartburn never returns. No doctor will recommend baking soda to you. But who would buy Rennie then? And what's safer for the mother and the fetus: baking soda or the same thing in Rennie and other products, but with additives and preservatives?

How familiar this situation is... Third pregnancy... And the third time with severe heartburn... No matter the portion sizes I eat, whether small, large, or even by the teaspoon, no matter what food I consume—even dairy... Heartburn from everything, starting around the 16th week of each pregnancy. Home remedies don’t help; milk works for 5 minutes, baking soda not only caused burping but worsened the heartburn after 7-10 minutes (so I don’t drink it now). Still mineral water doesn’t help either (even the expensive kind), Maalox helps for exactly half an hour, but I have to drink two sachets at once because one doesn’t relieve the heartburn. It’s the same story with Gaviscon as with Maalox. I get by with Rennie; nothing else helps anymore. To all pregnant women suffering from heartburn, I wish you patience and urge you not to torture yourselves under any circumstances! Be sure to relieve it, otherwise you’ll burn your esophagus and make things worse for both the baby and yourself. Health to you and your children!

Only eating small, frequent meals helped me. Dieting didn't help.
You need to eat a little at a time and often. Temporarily. Then it will get better.

I used to try not to pay attention to this issue, but now it's simply impossible because I'm three months pregnant and have heartburn every day that seems to come out of nowhere. But I found a good remedy—it's approved for breastfeeding and pregnant women—these are minty chewable tablets called Izgogoff. They help me get rid of heartburn in literally five minutes. I also read that they contain no sugar at all, so they're suitable for diabetics. If you compare it with the prices of similar products, this one is the cheapest.

Girls, I understand that everyone who has commented here has already given birth, but just in case this might help someone. I'm already 40 weeks along, and for half of that time, heartburn has been absolutely killing me. I never knew what it was before. I got bad thyroid results, and everyone around me convinced me that it was my thyroid causing all the trouble. But then my body itself gave me a hint about what it was and how to deal with it. I started eating chalk. I would have preferred the regular kind, but here we can only get the pharmaceutical type. I eat it whenever my body demands it. And the heartburn doesn't get a chance to come back. The only downside is the burping from it, but there's no pain at all. Maybe this will be useful to someone. Because I couldn't find any information about chalk anywhere.

Ramni. It's an exact copy of Rennie with the same composition, only cheaper and the tablet is easier to chew. It was my only relief.

Two pregnancies, and both in the third trimester came with terrible heartburn:( During the first one, I took Renni along with my meals. This time, I tried nuts. Hazelnuts, pistachios, walnuts. Firstly, they're very healthy, especially if you're experiencing leg cramps (I bought them for that reason). And as a bonus, no heartburn!!! Just a handful as a little snack.

And if you're 33-34 weeks and the heartburn is a nightmare, then what should you do for heartburn?

Yeah, many people have that problem. All my girlfriends suffered from heartburn. It's not always about diet; the main thing is to relieve the symptoms as quickly as possible. Chewable Izgogoff tablets work well; I always carry them with me, just in case. My gynecologist recommended them to me—they have a good composition, work quickly and gently, and are quite affordable.

Drink Gaviscon.

You need to check your blood sugar immediately.

I suffered from almost the beginning of my pregnancy, constantly chewing Adaxit tablets. Closer to the end, I tried Omez tablets, and it's simply a miracle—one pill in the morning and you forget about heartburn for 2-3 days!

Lemons and acidic foods increase stomach acid secretion, so they shouldn't be consumed with heartburn. Alkali neutralizes acid and antacids: Maalox, Rennie

Did you know that you shouldn't endure it?

For your information, acid by definition cannot alkalize. And lemons and apples are acids: citric and malic respectively. Chemistry - 8th grade!

Girls, if you're suffering from heartburn, buy mint Rennie; if it doesn't help, my top choice is ice cream.
Ice cream is the best relief, give it a try.
I understand it varies from person to person, but in my case, it works really well.

So, did you remember?

None of the foods I was advised to try, like milk and such, helped. Then I bought Izgogoff – mint-flavored chewable tablets, and the heartburn went away within about five minutes.

This is my third pregnancy. All three times, I've had terrible heartburn, and it doesn't depend on what I eat—everything causes it. During my first pregnancy, I took Rennie. It helped a little, but mostly I just endured it. In my second pregnancy, butter ice cream helped. This time, sunflower seeds worked—roasted, not salted. The conclusion is, you won't know what will help until you try everything, and what works can even vary from one pregnancy to another.

I get heartburn from mint Rennie too. Only the sugar-free one is okay (it has minimal mint)

I also survived on Rennie, and then at the perinatal center a gastroenterologist prescribed pills, in a plastic bottle, I can't remember the name, they're like omeprazole, but they're specifically for pregnant women!
Girls, maybe someone knows such pills... 🙏🏻 Really need them!!!
