Papaya extract works well for me when not pregnant, I need to check with my OB to see if it's still ok to use. If it is, it's a great alternative to over the counter meds!

The only thing that helped me was a tiny tea spoon of baking soda dissolved in a glass of water. Tasted pretty nasty but it worked everytime.

My Doctor prescribed me that for the vomiting didn't know it was for heartburn too thanks! I'm really going to start drinking it then. I haven't drank it because I haven't been throwing up. Thanks again
Zantac is for heartburn. Never heard of it being for anti nausea and vomitting. Are you confusing Zantac with Zofran maybe?

Rennie are calcium carbonate tablets and it's like chalk I ate sooooooo many whilst pregnant with my first (a box of 96 would take me two days) it's recommended you have 16 max a day. Luckily my midwife said it wouldn't cause harm but perhaps constipation which I didn't get even more luckily :) they taste like spearmint polos but they work instantly x
