Do you also feel like you are on the verge of throwing up?
I have had heartburn for about 2 months, but not that badly. Since Boxing Day it has kicked into high gear and been constant, every time I eat I get heartburn and I have it all night long.
I have also felt for several days like I am about to puke. I don't feel sick to my stomach, I just feel in my throat like vomit is about to shoot up at any minute.
Everyone tells me "oh I felt like throwing up teh day I went into labor" but I don't think that it's my body getting ready for labor seeing as I am still here and have felt this way for at least 4 days. I am wondering if it's connected to the heartburn?
Re: If you have heartburn, do you also feel like you are about to puke all the time?
Oh, I remember doing this too!!! My mouth would get all watery & my throat would be on FIRE & it was like I could actually feel the acid sitting between my chest & in my throat...
The ONLY thing that worked for me was to drink coke, eat 4 tums, & sit up for a bit... Oh, and don't lay down for about 30 min after eating...
DH had to give me a bucket in the hospital bc I thought I was going to puke due to heartburn... YUCK!
1. Yes I feel like Im going to puke when I have HB
2. What is Boxing day?
This well except for the DD number one part
Sounds like you're having reflux. There are Rx meds your OB can give you if it's that bad. I'm thinking about asking for some soon for the same reason.
So far Pepcid Complete chewable tablets (I have mint...my friend called the berry flavor ass_berry so I avoided it) have been helping a little, but I think not for much longer.
Ya, but then I went past the puke feeling to feeling like I'm going to just have an effing heart attack. I've been eating at least 4 tums a day lately.
Doesn't help that I've had bad acid reflux pre-pregnancy.
I constantly have a throat full of acid. It is horrible. Twice I have actually choked in my sleep on the acid. I can't wait for this little preggo fun to end.

I lived with heart burn for half the pregnancy. The best thing I did was get a perscription from my Doc!
There were days that my Heartburn made me break into a sweat and then I knew the puke was coming. It was horrible!
Yep. I also had wicked heartburn during L & D and threw up several times because of it.
Boxing Day is the day after Christmas (the 26th) and the day there are many many sales here. Kind of like your Black Friday. (and yes I feel on the verge of puking too with heartburn - that's why I'm up now)
