Maybe Thai food wasn't a great idea

DH decided he wanted Thai for dinner and its been forever since I've had veggie pad Thai so ate some of his. Whoops! Indigestion/heartburn central over here. Tums aren't helping so looks like ill have to cave in and take a Zantac. Anyone else having heartburn?

Yes! I had heartburn last night after dinner. It's odd because I NEVER have heartburn (like maybe once or twice in my life up until this point). Tums seemed to help, although I'm glad I quickly looked up what meds are okay to take during pregnancy; I was ready to take a swig of Pepto Bismol until I read that it's not okay - yikes!

You could try Zantac, it works wonders for me. My family doctor said it was ok to take and so did my OB.

Me too, a little, but mostly when I lie down to go to sleep... Tums work, but then I have to go brush my teeth again!

Yes! I made a gumbo last night and I felt like I had an elephant sitting on my chest! the pain went through my back! still feel like my back is burning a little. But its weird because its not like normal heartburn ive had, its like more pain than burn! Ugh.

I had it bad in the 3rd tri. A bowl of cereal or a glass of water would set it off.

This.

I'm hoping I don't get it again until 3rd tri.

That's funny, we went to Thai the night before my BFP and I had wicked heartburn. I've only ever gotten heartburn one other time, so it was new. It's tapered off a little since then, hopefully it stays that way!
