You may have heartburn, a burning sensation in the upper abdomen (caused by the backup of acidic stomach contents into the esophagus). To minimize this, don't overfill your stomach and remain upright for two to three hours after eating

Question:
I am in my 34th week of pregnancy and I am suffering from heartburn on a daily basis. I have been taking Tums to relieve my symptoms, but this is no longer very helpful. I eat smaller, more frequent meals, which I'm sure helps a little. I also sleep with my head elevated. I've heard that liquid antacids, such as Mylanta and Gaviscon are okay to take. Please help!
Answer:
In my practice, I recommend all of the things that you are doing. Research studies confirm that liquid antacids work better than chewables and the ones you mentioned would be fine to take during pregnancy. I've had good luck using Titralac with my clients.
Medications such as Pepcid AC are not generally used during pregnancy, but there is some support in the literature for their use in severe cases. No fetal or maternal problems have been identified.

hi Dqueen: the maternity bras I bought from Taka very ex, about $99 [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] but no choice coz mine was already big before I got pregnant. I tried M&S but the they also don't lie flat on my chest - you know, the part between the 2 cups? But these Taka ones do. and they're very comfortable. the 2 aunties there will help you find the best fit, one that will last till childbirth so that you don't have to buy any more maternity/nursing bras throughout your pregnancy. sigh..this is what happens when you have big boobs lor...
oh, those 2 aunties said to drink sugar juice (fresh one) so that babies come out pink and clean, instead of coconut juice. To drink starting from Month 8. They said drinking coconut juice, some mothers encounter weak legs.
Anyone heard of this sugar cane thingy?

clarins oil - got mine from swanston at chinatown for $56. have been using since i was 11wk pregnant, i've used about half. i also don't rinse off. usually apply before i go to sleep.
bras - this auntie at triumph suggested buying regular bra, but remove the wire. so that's what i've been doing. find it's quite comfortable.

Thanks for all the comments given on honey. I have checked with my gynae and she says there is no such logic. She even joked tat maybe the myth of not taking wild honey is to prevent our kids from turning wild... haha...
With that... there is more assurance for me to take honey now. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
By the way, had my scan today and confirmed my baby is a boy. Can start sourcing for baby stuff now.

Went for scan yesterday to check baby's condition heart, limbs etc. All in good order and heart was beating very well.
HB was very anxious and told doctor to see if we can find out sex. The baby made a big flip and showed us his butt crack... I was laughing till I had tears. Therefore, we were not able to see the baby's sex at all... so we have to wait for another 3 weeks for the detailed scan. hahahaha
But Im most happy that the baby is in good form and strong enough to kick and flip over hahahah

issit? hv belly hair means boy? Ohh...then it just might be true lor.
cuz i seems to hv hair around my navel area whereas i didn't hv them last time. And I'm hvg a baby boy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
i think i'll also eat bak kwa during the CNY...but as always eat in moderation cuz it's processed meat.
DQueen>> I still eat pineapple tarts cuz it's processed pineapple & not those fresh fruit cut pineapple. But just that pineapple tarts are very sweet, so eat in moderation.

Think all is ok to eat (CNY goodies) but in moderate... high in sugar level & so called heaty.
Wah.. hopefully a boy! My grandma was lecturing say ang pao must give more, generous get boy... "giam siap" (thrifty) will get gal... Lol. Laugh until my tummy pain.
I do feel the movement but not often & alot. small little action only. But i know only i can feel it my HB cannot so i always tell him make him jealous. Hah.

I envy those who can feel BB's movement.. still have yet to feel it.. maybe I dunno how to differentiate yet ba.
I think pineapple tart are ok to eat.. Like wat Mrslong said.. it's processed.. and hor.. I think pineapple tart are heaty cos it's baked.
Suntan - I kana disconnected already. Sorry.

ceres - I have opposite thinking as you... I'm the oldest in my family, and I took care of my sisters. Whereas my hubby is also the eldest and he has one younger sister. He knows nuts abt what's going on in his sister's life. Even can ask me for her hp number. I guess it depends on how we're being brought up ba.
