One of the many hidden joys in pregnancy is acid. One word - ouch! I went through a phase of trying everything.. milk, gaviscon, rennies etc.. but none of these seemed to work for me. On a night id lay in bed and have to sleep virtually sat up. It got to the point where i was getting it everyday and enough was enough!! I looked online on all the pregnancy websites etc and they all said the same.. id nearly gave up when i saw a comment a lady had left saying refreshers really helped. Well.. by now i was willing to try anything and went on the hunt for them. (Little village shops are the best place to grab hold but the poundshop, bnm etc also stock them in multipack). After eating three i had instant relief. Apparently they work the same as tumms, i was going to compare but tumms are about £5 a tub in the chemist and these are like 30p a pack? So i didnt bother.. they looked exactly the same though. Tumms also limit the amount you can have a day.. but with refreshers you can just munch away when needed. I've told a few other pregnant girls about these and theyve come back thanking me!! So the next time your acidy.. give them a go :) they just might become your lifesaver too.
