Really Doc, Really?

So, a month ago at my last appointment, I asked my doctor about heartburn medicine. I explained to him that I have it all day, and tums arent really effective. He said that he would write me a prescription. However, I left the appointment and forgot about it! So at my appointment yesterday, I asked my other doc for medicine! He said "Pregnant women are constantly over prescribed. Its actually been shown that people who take heartburn medicine for years have problems. Pregnant women come in all the time and want help for a little bit of heartburn, whenever its best for the baby if they suffered only just a little."

X( uhmm..... my last doctor said that it was prefectly fine... I wouldnt be asking if it wasnt serious. So if hes think staying up at night crying because its so bad its just a "little" problem... then maybe he should get pregnant and see what its like... I mean, Ive tried smaller meals, tums, milk, sitting up, not eating after six, staying away from certain foods, but nothing helps... I mean, I know he knows more about my body and pregnancy that I do... But I'm the one thats pregnant, and I dont feel like he should have jumped my case like that.. It made me feel really bad about myself!!!!!

:) It may seem like a silly vent, but the little things irk me, I SWEAR!!!!

    My last pregnancy my Ob was a month ahead of me in her own pregnancy. She was offering me drugs to cure her own issues lol. Your douchy second doc must have been thinking about times like that

    Have you tried tums, previcaid (sp) I forget how to spell it even tho I have a butt load if it lol. Its safe to take. Walmarts generic brand is ok to take you can take like up to 150mgs at a time. Ask the pharmacist seriously what's safe. If I forget to ask my doctor I ask them. But I know the listed above items are safe I take them. Unless you can't afford them. I understand that.

    @momofSOONtobe7 He finally wrote me a prescription.. while sighing the whole time lol the reason I wanted a prescription was because me and my hubby dont have a lot of money.. It may sound silly, but the tums themselves were getting so expensive I actually had to budget them out lol :) Thanks for the advce though!

    Tums are useless, but you can take pepcid and that worked for me!
  • lilpeapod913lilpeapod913
    Pepcid works for me too!
  • usafwife_21usafwife_21
    I think I got stuff for zantac (sp?) lol I hope it works!!! Is percid over the counter?
  • laura536laura536
    Yes, it is. Although my dr prescribed it.

    I finally broke down and had to ask my dr for a prescription last wk lol. Only had 4 wks to go but it was getting so bad that nothing was working and when I finally managed to fall asleep I'd wake up like vomiting acid into my mouth and I always woke up coughing really bad. I haven't had any of those issues since he gave me the prescription. He gave me Pepcid. I swear I could have hugged that man lol.

    My ob prescribed me prilosec and told me I could take gaviscon with it for 'flare-ups'... lol
  • m2bhopem2bhope
    My doc said zantac was perfectly ok. It was to the point I was taking tums at least 3x in the middle of the night.

    I understand there completely. I hate tums honestly. I didn't think they worked either but glad you got something. You know what they say about heart burn..... your baby will be full of hair. Aka have a head full of hair lol. Hope it works! I had heart burn so bad. All my kids came out with heads full of hair. Old wise tail but still kinda cool yo think about.
