ppi and H2ra use in pregnancy??

I do not see how taking acid medications can affect whether or not your child will have reflux. Babies who have reflux have it because of an immature LES (lower esophageal spincter), and mothers taking acid blocking meds do not have any affect on that. If the mothers and the babies both had reflux it is most likely just genetic.

I would agree with the others. It’s much more likely that the babies had reflux because their mother’s did. More of a genetic occurence.

I had reflux with both of my boys and took nothing and they both had reflux. My neighbor had severe reflux while pregnant and took prevacid and her baby did not have reflux. Like the other moms said, I really don’t think there is a connection. There have been so many moms on here trying to figure out why their babies had relux and trying to figure out what they did wrong during laobr or pregnancy, but honestly I haven’t seen any connections yet. I think we all want to figure it out so our next babies won’t have it, but sadly I think we’re out of luck. Trust me I wish I knew there was a reason both my boys had it so I could fix it next time, but I just plan on every baby I have having it.
