I have problems with heartburn and indigestion,
what do you suggest?

For heartburn try to sleep propped up, drink a glass of milk before bed and avoid eating or drinking a few hours before you go to bed can also help. For indigestion try eating smaller meals more often, sit up straight when you’re eating as this takes the pressure off your stomach. Discuss with your doctor or midwife as they may also recommend omeperazole (losec), ranitidine (zantac) or Gaviscon.
