Acid reflux.. anyone.. throwing up acid? in sleep

I've been getting a lot of heartburn and it's horrible.. But now what really gets me is that it's happening more at night.. this morning aka around 2am ish I woke up throwing up in my sleep throat on fire and belly pains aka tightness in my belly.. my other pregnancy was nothing like the the acid attacks only happened during the day now it's at night and I'm kinda getting scared I might choke in my sleep and you know the rest...

Omg it feels really good to know I'm not the only one.. I'm 35 weeks tommrow an it was not this bad until a few days ago.. I just had regular heartburn now I'm having all the extras.. Under my breast bone and up was hurting and feeling on fire as we as my throat all this could cause complications after we have the baby with our esophagus like we burning it out or something to that effect.. I was gonna go in to the ER this morning but I have my appt monday so I wiill wait till then.. I swear this is the worst I just hope it don't continue.. rolaides are so nasty I hate chewing them..

Same thing is happening with me. I'm almost 31 weeks and almost every night I have it. Usually it happens once and I choke myself awake but last night it went on for hours.  I take Zantac 150 and Rolaids it didn't help.  Finally had to sleep sitting up. I'm exhausted and my 3 year old has an ear infection.  Going to be a fun day!  I may ask for nexium at next appointment.

I've tried to elevate how I sleep too...don't eat within a few hours of bed and stay upright after eating...tums helped me...also, what you eat can be the culprit.

My heartburn and acid reflux is getting pretty bad. I mean like all the time even if I don't eat. I think my lil man is getting big enough he is causing it. Driving me crazy but at least I am close to the end although a month of this will feel like a lifetime. Lol.

Well I'm having acid reflux as well. Bad heartburn. Just about a lil over thirty minutes ago i had threw up. But since that happened the heartburn seemed to calm down thank the Lord lol. So I'm going to take advantage of that and try to get some more sleep while i can. Even though my baby girl is moving in there a lot right now i love her so much.

I had this. Finally went to the doctor because I couldn't keep anything down. They gave me anti nausea meds and Nexium. I have been taking the medium for almost two weeks and haven't had this problem since.
