I totally understand how frustrating that must be, especially with your job requiring you to be on your feet with the babies. Honestly, you can see a private doctor even while on subsidies at KKH, though you'll pay out of pocket for that visit, but some mums find it worth it if they need a second opinion or feel they need more support with something specific like this. Since the 3 days isn't cutting it and the heartburn and swelling are really affecting your sleep and work, might be good to push back at your next KKH appt and really emphasize how much it's impacting your ability to function, or consider going private just to explore other options like different medication or specialist referral. The combination of heartburn, swelling and sleep loss during pregnancy does sound like it needs more investigation, so don't hesitate to advocate for yourself here.
