Laidies,
Just wanted to caution against Zantac. I had an allergic reaction to it last night and had to be admitted to the hospital to monitor baby.
I've taken it pre-pregnancy for heartburn and it was listed as "ok" by my midwife as something to take. I've been suffering from severe heartburn due to baby's position and unable to sleep or eat much lately.
Tums worked for a while but then the heartburn progressed to more severe. All other natural methods ceased working on the heartburn too.
I've never had trouble taking this pre-pregnancy but fell ill to it during pregnancy. Just wanted to share in case anyone else could benefit from knowing.
Normally I am not sensitive to meds, maybe because I don't take many but I broke out into a sweat, almost faintish, my bottom lip swelled up and blistered, I started mild contractions 5 mintues apart, and baby was moving hysterically. I called my midwife immediately. Ends up hospital also found a kidney infection that I didn't know I had as no symptoms were predominant so it's a blessing I went to the ER.
We monitored baby for 2 hours at hospital and finally got me enough fluids to help and contractions stopped and was released.
