Had really bad acidity last night and my husband had this at home. I almost took it but then stopped, didn't want to risk anything. Anyone used it in pregnancy or should I just ask my doc first?
Honestly, please avoid it. Alka seltzer has aspirin which doctors do not recommend during pregnancy. I had very bad heartburn too, but my doctor prescribed some basic safe antacids that helped me stay comfortable until my normal delivery. Just drop a message to your gynac and they will suggest something safer.
As far as I know, it's better to avoid alka seltzer because it usually contains aspirin which isn't safe during these months. When I had bad acidity during my pregnancy and even now while breastfeeding, my doc always told me to take simple safe antacids. Please check with your gynac once before taking anything.
Actually, you should avoid it because standard alka seltzer contains aspirin, which can cause bleeding or fluid issues. Plus the sodium content is quite high which can cause swelling. Better to ask your doctor for safe alternatives like Tums or a basic pregnancy-safe antacid gel.
Yaar, that fizzy water looks fun but skip the alka seltzer! It has aspirin and lots of sodium, which will just bloat you up like a balloon. Better to stick to simple nimbu paani or ask your doc for a safe syrup if acidity is killing you.
Bilkul nahi, take a pause and don't self-medicate with alka seltzer. It has ingredients like aspirin which are not safe for the baby. If you are having acidity or gas, ghar pe cold milk try karo or direct doc se safe medicine likhwao.
