I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my second kid and since about the end of my second trimester beginning of my third every time I eat dairy I get sick, literally. does anyone else have this problem?  also I had no problem with it with my first, what does that mean? is this on lactose?

Lactose Intolerance

When you say "sick" are you talking about diarrhea, nausea, heartburn....? I ask because if it's causing you problems more in your lower intestines (diarrhea) then yes, absolutely lactose intolerance. But if it's more upper esophageal it could be that the milk is causing you to have heartburn/acid reflux which can feel like nausea in pregnancy. I have GERD (basically chronic acid reflux) and milk makes me feel really nauseated

I had lactose intolerance pre pregnancy, then the first half, second trimesterit disappeared. The first three weeks of my third it showed up again. Now I lost my lactose intolerance...AGAIN. ) Our bodies do some really weird things. But it sounds like you got lactose intolerance. The sickness can make you feel nauseous, actually throw up, have to go to the bathroom a lot, and/or all of the above! I just get nauseous, and "make friends" with the bathroom, since it makes me get up quick and "go". If you know what I mean!

I always had a bit of intolerance to milk, but was able to eat cheese and yogurt without issue. This entire pregnancy I can't eat yogurt anymore without major abdominal cramps and quick trips to the washroom. This past week I had to stop having London Fogs it has been so bad. Even soup with a bit of cream in it made my stomach cry.

I'm very sad because I love cream soups and lattes. But hopefully it will go back to normal after baby's out, and there is more room for my insides to bloat.

I've had the opposite situation. Before I got pregnant, milk would cause me all kinds of problems and now I can drink it all day and be fine. No idea what's up with that, but I'm enjoying it while I can.

Baby made me lactose intolerant around 20 weeks. My doc said it wasn't unusual and that it should go back to normal after baby arrives. I hope so because I miss my normal milk... I've never liked most milk substitutes and the one I've found that I do like is SUPER expensive in comparison.

I've always been lactose intolerant. Around 24 weeks or so it got incredibly worse. It sucks pretty hard because I love cheese.
