The acidity at night is becoming unbearable, i barely sleep. I have my usual antacid at home but scared to take anything without checking. Is it ok during pregnancy or should i ask doc first? im 16 weeks.
Don't pop any random antacids like you used to do before pregnancy. Some over-the-counter tablets are safe, but others have high sodium content. Just call your gynac and ask for a pregnancy-safe prescription to be safe.
I had terrible acid reflux during my last trimester and couldn't even sleep. My doctor prescribed a safe gel antacid that I took before meals. Please check with your doctor instead of guessing, you will get instant relief!
I had such bad heartburn that I panicked thinking it was a chest issue! My doctor laughed and reassured me it's just pregnancy acidity. She gave me a safe syrup that worked like magic, so don't worry, it's very manageable.
Oh, that pregnancy heartburn is real! 😅 Yes, you can take certain antacids, but always check with your gynac first to know which brand is safe. Try having chilled milk, it helped me a lot during my third trimester! 👍
According to my pregnancy tracker app, digestion slows down which causes severe reflux. I logged my symptoms and my doctor recommended a specific safe liquid antacid. Definitely consult your gynac first to get the correct dose and type.
Please be extremely careful with what medications you take right now. Even common antacids can contain ingredients that might not be suitable for your baby. Please get a green light from your doctor before taking anything.
Acidity is very common, but self-medication is a big no during these nine months. Ask your doctor for a safe antacid syrup or tablet. For immediate mild relief, you can try drinking cold milk or eating small meals frequently.
