Most women would worry about their existing health conditions and its effect on their pregnancy and one of the most common is heartburn and stomach ulcers.
The common approach to this condition is to have the most conservative approach, that is to take smaller meals, particularly those rich in carbohydrates. In other instances, where the condition may require, medication should be applied.
Generally, heartburn and stomach ulcers tend to improve during pregnancy except in some cases where the condition was discovered during pregnancy. The most common medication taken for heartburn and stomach ulcers not necessarily during pregnancy are antacids include Gaviscon®, Tums®, Peptac®, Rennie®, Maalox®, and Mucogel®.
The growing concern lies on the issue that antacids may contribute or add risk to the fetus to develop congenital defects. This issue has not been fully disproved and so it is advice to take only medication when deemed necessary.
