Heartburn
This is the 5th night I've woken up throwing up because I've been getting heartburn. I'm soon to be 36 weeks. I've been taking tums and Pepcid OTC and it's not doing anything. Is there something else I should be trying? I'm scared one of these nights I will choke on the throw up because I'm sleeping when it happens.
It happens to mee wen im sleeping I literally wake up choking on heart burn and end up puking its horrible I end up having to take a hot hot shower to relax my self kuz I feel so anxiouse wen I wake up like that I also take acid reducers it kinda seems to help try not to eat anything at least 2/3 hours before u go to bed of course the farther along u are it seems to get worst im 29 weeks and nothing is really helping for me no more and it sux but good luck eberyone is different hope it helps
ME! TOTALLY ME!
1) Do NOT do NOT drink milk!!!! It turns to acid in the stomach and makes it 58482848393x worse. My doctor told me that and I was like, oh, that explains some stuff lol.
2) Try Protonix. I went to my OB and I was diagnosed with severe GERD (I too was throwing up daily from it, not sleeping, not living, ugh) and put on it and it is a MIRACLE. Like, seriously, idk when your next appointment is, but call and ask for one sooner to get some prescription medicine. Mine was too severe for -anything- over the counter to help and now at the very worst, I might take tums to supplement.
Best move I ever made, asking about my severe heartburn lol. I might be stuck with it on and off my whole life how (hoping it'll go away after pregnancy) bit I slept for the first time in TWO WEEKS after that.

It might be good for you to try to sleep propped up (if you're not already). Maybe even in a recliner or something just to have the help of gravity in keeping what's in your stomach down.
I take zantac @ 150mg and it works awesome and this is my 2nd pregnancy taking something for heartburn
