In your first tri mester my doctor would not allow me to take any medicine unless I was very ill! I know some women take omeprazole later in pregnancy! Personally I have bad heart burn and just drink lots f milk and use an extra pillow at night. No harm in checking again with your doc

I got told to wean off them because it can affect the babies size
