GERD & pregnant

Any one of you is diagnosed with GERD and currently expecting? How do you deal with the terrible acid reflux? Mine is so terrible, even if I eat a small portion, the heartburn is painful and I ended up vomitting everything out so I can have a peaceful night sleep. Anatacid that was prescribed was of no use. I used to take Omeprazole before I am pregnant but I am currently out of that meds already.

Omeprazole’s not recommended for pregnancy, but you can get a prescription for another type of medicine to reduce stomach acid. Also avoid coffee/tea/acidic/spicy food.. take small meals/snacks frequently to reduce the reflux. And continue the antacids too

Gaviscon worked for me. Other than cutting out coffee and tea totally, I also avoid oily and spicy food. I find that reflux is especially bad when the food is too oily.
