The acidity in my second trimester is killing me yaar, especially at night. Someone at home suggested gaviscon but im scared to take anything without asking. Has any of you used it while pregnant? i'll confirm with my doc also.
Didi, for any medicine, even if it's common like Gaviscon, you MUST ask your gynaecologist first. Don't take advice from random people online for meds when you're pregnant. Call your doc, they will tell you exactly what's safe for YOUR condition.
Haan, I remember the acidity, it was a constant companion! It's really better to consult your doctor before taking any medicine. Sometimes they recommend simple home remedies first like sips of milk or keeping food light, or they might prescribe specific meds. What's safe for one person might not be for another, so check with your gynac.
Oh, this is a really good question! I'm planning my pregnancy right now and already thinking about all these things, like what medicines are safe. I've definitely heard it's super important to check with your gynac for any medicine, even something common like Gaviscon. Better to be absolutely safe and sure.
Acidity is super common in pregnancy, I totally get it, I had it bad too! But for medicines like Gaviscon, it's always best to ask your doctor directly. They know your medical history and will tell you the right one and the correct dosage, if needed. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Please, please don't take anything without asking your doctor first. I had some complications during my pregnancy, and learned how important it is to be super careful with meds. Even for seemingly harmless things, call your gynac, even a quick call helps a lot.
