These tips may help some of us mummies.
I suffered awful heartburn through out my pregnancy so I am hopeful these tips will help.
So here are the top 10 tips
1. Try a probiotic drink. These help to promote the good bacteria needed in the gut.
2. Improve your posture. Poor posture can exacerbate symptoms so sit up straight at your desk, walk tall with your shoulders back.Maybe try pilate classes or yoga
3. Eat regular meals.Eat little and often-as hard as it may be don’t overload with food or skip meals as this will increase
4. Watch your weight,being overweight can cause heartburn.If concerned about you weight please see GP
5. Try and reduce the amount of high fat meals and foods you consume. Keep your intake of creamy sauces, fried foods, cakes, biscuits, chocolate, cheeses and rich desserts to a minimum and cut back on spicy foods too.
6. Give up smoking.
7. Eat plenty of fibre rich foods.
8. Exercise daily at least 30 minutes a day.
9. Write down everything that you eat for 10-14 days to see if certain food/drink trigger your heartburn.
10. Avoid drinking lots of tea and coffee. Limit your self to 2-3 cups a day,maybe try herbal tea or fruit teas instead. .

I suffered heartburn with all 3 of my pregnancies.
Gaviscon helped, prescribed by the doctor, also eating toast and drinkinh milk.
Also using plenty of pillows, so I wasn’t laying completely flat, really helped at night too, when it was at it’s worse!
I love my curries and hot chilli so this often made my heartburn worse!
I’m currently suffering severe heartburn and the only thing helping is milk lol..x
I must admit drinking a yogurt drink once a day helped a little I don’t smoke try and exercise but when I was pregnant yogurt drink + milk defo helped spicy food made me 100000 times worse so I avoided where possible hope these tips have helped a little x x
What ever i did for heart burn NEVER worked was horrible!
With my 1st i didnt leave the house without a bottle of gaviscon in my bag and drank it by the bucket load! With my 2nd i had the tablets they seemed to help a little better but still never took it away!
I used to have ice pops during the day and they seemed to help x
