Heartburn / Indigestion

[kikicoates78]

MUCH! Gosh, I have had it bad the past couple of nights, I hate rolaids they gag me, *yuck* Well Jeremy bought me some of the chewy ones, they are not too bad, I keep telling myself, it's ok keisha deal with it, this means she will probly have hair! LOL suck it up. BUT it has been so bad I can't sleep, it's way worse when I lay down.

This is all new for me, I had my first bout of it about a month and a half ago, then it kinda stopped. I looked at Jeremy then and said somthing dosen't feel right LOL here I am the nurse and he said DUH it's indigestion, I felt like such a goober here I was thinking OH god I'm having a heart attack or somthing is SO wrong! HEHE Anyhoo, I have never had heartburn before! This stinks!

Any one else with new symptoms?

[clairelou88]

HEHE I'm so lucky I am down to 12 weeks!! We are thinking April 15th ish! If she stays content that long ( I hope) So I think I will only have 1 month of complete misery till I see my angel girl!

[hkenny]

not that i want to complain but hey! i have had a bad right hip from being born breech and it seems like being pregnant is making it worse, it hurts to walk and to sleep and all i can think about is that i have another 4 months of this and i am going to get way bigger!! my chiropractor is hoping that a natural birth might help or fix my hip problem all together....heres hoping!!

Claire ~ My back kills too! I'm just too fat! I'm not blaming baby, I was just too big to start with so I will be SO miserable in 2 more months I don't know if I will be able to walk! LOL

i  get horrible heart burn sometimes and i get the vanilla chewy rolaids or the smoothie tums as hkenny said they arn't as bad as the others. good luck it def S~ucks but no other new symptoms for me other so far other than not getting ne sleep

[clairelou88]

i dont think ive actally ever had heartburn! if i have ive never noticed it! ive have just got a major bad back its killing me, i had abit of a bad back before i was pregnant but now it really hurts and is so hard to sleep, anyone else have this>??

[hkenny]

i like the smoothie tums, they arent as chaukly as the regular ones. the other thing i discivered was to not eat at least an hour or 2 before bed, as soon as you lie down you get heartburn!! yuck .drink a glass of milk before bed too. that seems to help! i cant lay down on the couch after i eat either, the laying down thing really makes in bad!!

[kikicoates78]

Well the chewy rolaids are working for now :) hopefully that is all I will need, It only happens when I lay down, it's not an all day thing thank goodness! ( yet, as I look for wood to knock on)

I don't know whether you have gaviscon in America, but I get it on prescription now because my heartburn is through the roof, but I suffered even before I was pregnant.  It is really helpful and gets rid of it, until you eat something else and then you need to take it again!!

I had really bad heartburns in my first pregnancy (and also in the begining thought it was something serious!) they started to appear when I was about 6 months pregnant. Sometimes I had to sleep with several pellows almost sitting down just to avoid the pain. drinking alot of water helps a little during a heartburn attack. With this pregnancy I had only few mild indigestion eppisodes (but not as severe as the ones I remember with my previous pregnancy) but I'm affraid things might worsen later.
Let me know what works you so I'll be prepared (lol)
