is it heartburn?
if it is isnt it too early to get heartburn?
can anyone help.

Hi

I had chronic heartburn from about 5 weeks, and lasted all day, seemd to be my main symptom as I haven't gipped yet!

They say ginger tea, ginger biscuits and dry crackers helps, I used Rennie, they were a godsend and they do say at on the back for pregnancy.

Hope this helps

thanks im gonna have to invest in some rennie or gaviscon. thanks again x x

yes definately sounds like heartburn, i have suffered from it bad. I didn't want to take any sort of medication when pregnant, just encase. so i have found sitting up straight after i've eaten stops the stomach acids from leaking out and also a glass of milk helps to neutralise the acid. xx

MY OB told me it was ok to take Zantac 150

Munching on refreshers sweets or loveheart sweets works like magic for me I always have some handy!

Heartburn is the most common symptom of a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux, or acid reflux, or GERD. It usually begins as a burning pain that starts behind the breastbone and radiates upward to the neck. Often there is a sensation of food coming back into the mouth, accompanied by an acid or bitter taste. Heartburn is sometimes called acid indigestion and usually occurs after meals.

I have never heard of heartburn going downwards? x

Yeah thats true tam, mine never goes down, you can always feel it coming up xx

Thanks hun, I thought I was really missing something then......

Mrsnewbury.....maybe call your MW or your GP about it, as I really have never heard of heartburn going downwards! x
