Heartburn and indigestion

Hey mummies! I'm currently 20 weeks 5 days already! But, my heartburn has been from bad to worse i must say. Wanting to eat but i get scared. Doctor gave me antacids, but made my tummy super gassy and at times, spicy feeling to it. Yes got it from KKH. I'm so stressed out. I don't know who i can talk to, feel so lonely.. my husband is around when i need him, but speaking to him regarding this is abit impossible cause he doesn't feel what i feel. Went for my antenatal checkup yesterday. Baby is developing so healthily. Everything was super. I was happy no doubt. But, i have so many endless worries every since i got pregnant. And now entering 21 weeks soon, i feel so challenged. My liver enzymes was increasing last time, due to indigestion, cause i had to call an ambulance but they sent me to CGH instead during my 14 weeks pregnancy, so took some bloodtest and such. Then againanother worries. They referred me to see liver doctor in CGH when i saw my doctor at KKH. But i don't trust CGH hospital. I don't know what to do. Feel so clueless

Hello mummy, unfortunately heartburn is very common in pregnancy. I’m on my 30 weeks and I still do have heartburn till now. What you can do is to avoid greasy or spicy food, fatty food or eat too much before bedtime. Eat small portion of meals and try not to sleep flat. Elevate your pillows and try sleeping in seated position first and you’ll feel slightly better. Eat your antacids as well! And try to avoid worrying too much. Think of happy thoughts and yes, sometimes husbands will never understand because they can’t exactly feel what we are feeling. But cheer up mummy, as long as he is always there for you throughout the pregnancy, that’s good! If you need someone to talk to, you can always find some mummy support group here or in fb! Or you can always talk to your mum. They should be experienced and understanding enough. Chin up mummy! And yes, ambulance will always send you to the nearest hospital and not the hospital of your choice. If you’re uncomfortable in CGH, you might want to ask your gynae if transferring you to KKH for your liver issue is possible.
