holy heartburn

[newmommy213]

All night I've been woken up due to severe heartburn. I thought this symptom was supposed to go away after the baby dropped. At my last doctor appointment they said she had definitely dropped and could come any day now. I'm wondering if this could at all mean that labor is near because wow is it torture :(

If you can at 38 weeks!! :)

Rennies are a lifesaver! Take a Rennie, sit down and lean over putting your elbows on your knees - works a treat!

I might have to pick some up then. I'm hoping I'll have her soon and according to some places I've read that increased heartburn could be a sign of labor so I'm hoping they're right. I'll probably ask my doctor about it today when I see them.

Tums! I take them everyday pretty much since I always have heartburn! Works like a charm and is completely harmless!

Take a rennie and drink a glass of diet coke fast and you will let out an almighty burp and then your heartburn will be gone! I'm suffering with it all the time and my mams friend told me to try it and it really does work :)

I'm 38 weeks so I'm not sure if my doctors will prescribe me anything at this stage.

My OB gave me Prevacid 24. You can buy it over the counter & workers wonders for heartburn!' (:
