My acidity is unbearable these days, im 4 months along. Used to take this before pregnancy but now scared to take anything without asking. Will check with my gynac but wanted ur experiences.
Honestly, with any medication during pregnancy, especially if you have other health conditions like PCOS, it's always best to be super careful. My gynac was very particular about what I could or couldn't take. Please don't take it without asking your doctor first, okay?
Please, please be extremely careful with any medication during pregnancy. I lost my first baby, and after that, I was so paranoid about everything. It's not worth taking any risk. Only take what your doctor explicitly says is safe for you and your little one.
My doctor actually advised me against taking ranitidine while pregnant and gave me an alternative for acidity. She explained that generally, during pregnancy, doctors prefer to avoid certain medications unless absolutely necessary and prescribed by them directly. So it's best to confirm with your own gynac.
Don't take chances with meds. Just call your gynac's office and ask them directly. They usually respond quickly for such queries. It's the most reliable and safest way to confirm if ranitidine is okay for you right now.
Pregnancy is a time when every little thing you consume needs to be okayed by your doctor. I had a lot of acidity too during my time. Instead of taking anything on your own, please discuss this with your gynac. They will suggest the safest option for you and the baby.
