Freakin' heartburn

Mango2

Things that should give me wicked heartburn aren't but things that I'd never think would give me heartburn are.

Yesterday I had chili cheese fries (bad bad) at lunch, and an enchilada for dinner. I had mild heartburn from the fries, but all in all was OK. I had fully expected to wake up with heartburn after dinner, but didn't.

This morning I had a piece of wheat bread and it just about killed me.

It makes no sense!

I carry a huge bottle of Tums in my purse for that same reason.  I can eat 4 hot dogs with everything on them and not get it, but if I eat a slice of pizza look out.  Doesn't make sense!

I hear you! I never had heartburn in my life til pregancy. Now it's like a way of life!

I've suffered from GERD (acid reflux disease) for years and the last week I've had the worst heartburn in ages. I almost vomited (bile burp) and I'm taking Rx meds for this. I can take Tums, too, but they constipate me. It's a lovely catch-22.

And the heartburn will only get worse as the baby gets bigger and your uterus goes higher in your abdomen. Fun.

I'm experiencing the "gets worse" part. While I'm at 31 weeks (almost) my belly is measuring 35 weeks. I have woken up almost being sick because of the heartburn. There just aren't enough Tums!
