Reflux is common in the population at large and more common for some during pregnancy. Using the med listed as long as you need it is okay. Always tell your doc the prescribed or over the counter medications you use with each visit so they may modify any as needed.

Reflux symptoms are typically worsening during pregnancy. If your symptoms persist after delivery would suggest seeing a gastroenterologist as work up may be needed to rule out esophageal disorders.
