Heartburn...ugh!

[Limonada]

Is anyone else experiencing the "joys" of heartburn at this point?  With DS, I had a bit in the evenings, but only during the third trimester.  This time, I've been having it since the beginning of the second trimester and, especially in the last couple of days, during any time of the day.

So far, I've been taking over-the-counter antacids, but at my last appointment, my OB mentioned that if it didn't get better (or got worse), he could prescribe something.  I back to see him on Monday, and I may ask about that.  It's just really unpleasant!

Sweets make it worse, I find, so I try to avoid those....but sometimes there's no rhyme or reason for it (other than the obvious:  that the baby is crowding my stomach and pushing everything up...)

I was getting the worst cases of heartburn in the middle of the night, many hours after eating.  I tried Tums and those other wonderful OTC antacids too...no help.  My OB gave me a script for Nexium...it has an expensive co-pay $45 for a 30 day supply......it is worth every penny!!!!!!  Good luck!

I have terrible heartburn. My doc prescribed me Prevacid and it works wonderfully... Oh the joys of pregnancy. ;0 LOL
