Ouch.

I keep waking up in the middle of the night, choking on stomach acid. It's very unpleasant as you can imagine. It's happened three times to me tonight and has made my throat so raw and sore. Has anyone else gone through this? What did you do to ease the burning and the choking fits? I'm 37+3.

You're welcome! There's also a liquid medicine that the nurse told me you can take. It's called Mylanta! There's also something called Maalox. I got this pamphlet on different medicines you can take for different things. So I was just naming them off there lol.

I'm the same way with milk, but I also get SUPER gassy, lol. I heard it's just a part of pregnancy. And I know how it feels about the tumbs. I can take 3000 mg of tumbs and still burn like there is no tomorrow. That's why my doctor suggested Rantidine.

Hm i'm not sure.. Everyone is different so different things make people nauseous. It probably is the greasy foods. That was the first time I used tums and I agree it only did so much. My doctor told me you can take over the counter zantac also.

Yeah milk is another thing. During my pregnancy so far, even the smallest glass and i'm nauseous all day. Does that mean my son will be lactose intolerant? Or is that something that just happens in some pregnancies? I do use tums. I had taco johns for dinner last night im sure the grease has something to do with it. But tums only do so much.

Have you tried tums or drinking milk? I woke up the other night and my throat was burning so bad because I had been eating hot cheetos. I ended up puking twice and my throat was still burning so I chewed 3 tums and drank a glass of milk. I layed back down and my throat still hurt.. But I slept it off. When I woke up I felt better.

I have that sometimes. I take tumbs, but my doctor also told me I can try Rantidine (not sure of spelling) 150 mg once a day. I'm 36 weeks 2 days. I still haven't tryed Rantidine, but you can get it over the counter under s different name.
