i had bad acidity even before pregnancy and was taking pantoprazole. now im 6 weeks and scared if it affects the baby. planning to ask my gynac at next visit but wanted to hear if anyone took it early on.
Haan, acidity toh bohot tang karti hai early pregnancy me. Par pantoprazole apne aap mat lena, hamesha doctor se pooch kar hi khana, safe rehna chahiye na.
I had terrible heartburn, and my doctor had prescribed me pantoprazole which helped a lot. But every pregnancy is different, so please check with your doctor before taking it.
I am also facing bad acidity in my 10th week, but I'm too scared to take any pills. Did your doctor suggest pantoprazole or did you manage with cold milk?
Acidity is very common, but please do not take any medicine like pantoprazole without asking your gynac first. Since my PCOS pregnancy was high-risk, I never self-medicated. Always check with doctor.
It is generally prescribed for severe acid reflux and is considered relatively safe, but early pregnancy is very sensitive. Please get a proper prescription from your doctor rather than self-medicating.
Medicines should only be taken if doctor permits. For mild acidity, I found that walking slowly after meals and doing light yoga helped me naturally, so maybe try that first.
Ugh, the pregnancy heartburn! My doctor told me pantoprazole is fine, but honestly, only take it if your doctor prescribes it. Otherwise, sleep with head elevated, though sleep is a luxury anyway!
