Lamby: Ha! I give out liquid Gaviscon to some of my mums-to-be too but I find the peppermint flavour version to be much more popular than the original. I've seen some of the future mums forego the measuring cup and swig from the bottle!
Don't forget Gaviscon comes in tablet form too.
A couple of other tips... chew gum to get the saliva glands working (it neutralises the extra acidity in the stomach).
Don't eat just before bedtime and try to sleep slightly propped up.

Avoid fizzy drinks, caffeine, chocolate, alcohol (obviously!), tomatoes, citrus fruit, vinegar and spicy foods.
Being pregnant, you're supposed to drink a lot of fluids but don't drink while you're having a meal.
Johnson's themselves say: "The assertion that chemicals are added that numb the baby's eyes is
totally false. The reason JOHNSON'S® shampoo formulas do not irritate the eyes is the mildness of the formulation, which has undergone
extensive clinical testing and has proven to be as gentle to the eyes as pure water."
