heartburn!!

[Heather2701]

Only 13weeks and didnt think i would have heartburn this bad yet ugh it *****.. keeps me up... i drink milk not working... i only have pepto in the fridge as of now. Is it safe to take?

[Tigerlily28]

I wouldn't take pepto. I heard on here vanilla milkshakes and it worked for me. 2-3 tums should work too. Good luck!

[OctoberMommy2014]

pepto IS on my list of "okay" things to take.. I'm not your OB so I won't recommend it, but I do believe it's safe.

I DO know tums are okay though.. if you can make it to the store to get some of those tomorrow? good luck & hope you feel better!!!

heartburn started kicking my butt around then too.. 14w3d & it still keeps me up sometimes..

[Heather2701]

Ok thanks... one more question nothing to do with being pregnant. ....so how can you look at the comments people write on your post without having to scroll threw all the post?

[OctoberMommy2014]

I use the laptop, just because the app on my phone aggravates me! lol

BUT from what I've seen other women say, you have to find a post that you commented on, click your name, THEN it should show your posts.. I honestly haven't bothered with trying that way.. I have no patience lol

[Heather2701]

Ok thanks notice your name is October mommy... are you due in October. .. im due oct 30th

[OctoberMommy2014]

yes ma'am! I'm due Oct. 24th!! (((: 14w3d

[Heather2701]

Pepto is on my list of stuff to not take... but that list wasnt given to me by an OB so I really dont know... I suffered from heartburn and I took papaya pills until they were no longer strong enough... my OB ended up prescribing me Zantac and it has helped a lot... I had to cut out a lot of sugary things from my diet because of gestational diabetes (like soda, candy, ice cream, fruit juices, etc.) and have noticed that I don't have heartburn as often or as bad as before... you may want to try reducing sugar from your diet.. it worked for me... tums are safe but for me, they didn't work... good luck mama

[Heather2701]

Mckaylas momma.. thanks... yeah ill try to cut down on sugars it so hard to though... i love soda which is so bad... i try to drink only 3 sodas a day... sometimes that doesnt work... im also craving sweets bad... like Hershey bars..

[mckaylas_momma1018]

And yes. .. as OctoberMommy said... click on your name and then posts and scroll to the one you want... I'm also an Oct. Mommy but not with this one... my first was born Oct 18th... :)  this time I'm a May/June mommy (hoping for May!)

[Heather2701]

Thats awesome congrats to both of you!!

[Heather2701]

So where do you go to click on your name instead of scrolling threw trying to find your post sorry in new to this so still learning

[OctoberMommy2014]

for example, click the 25/34 group.. find this post.. then click your name once you view it.. I really don't like using the app lol

& yeah, ask your doctor about the pepto - it's under my list of stuff that I can take for diarrhea, but again.. it may not be okay for you.. I haven't taken it just because it upsets my colon disease sometimes.. I've just been toughing it out.. so far so good, but if need be I'll be getting some tums! ((:

[Heather2701]

[OctoberMommy2014]
