I woke with the worst heartburn ever and have not been able to fall asleep. Like this was I woke up to puke in my mouth kind of heartburn. I hate it! So instead of sleep I am sitting here in my bed bumping on my phone. I just noticed that DH is hiding his head. Meh. He snores, I bump.
Re: I think I am disturbing DH
My wife has had wicked heart burn throughout her pregnancy and has been downing the tums. You know of any other heart burn remedies?
Tums make me vomit. So I do milk, ice cream, and papaya enzymes. Typically these work. However, I don't want to go downstairs right now to grab a fudgsicle.
Zantac, Zantac and Zantac!!!
Perfectly safe to take and works wonders. It saved my life during both of my pregnancies.
Liquid Mylanta worked for me for about 3 weeks, and then I had to take Prevacid for the rest of my pregnancy. It was "wake up, choking on bile", drinking water gave me heartburn-bad.
That is about where she is right now too.
It does suck. It's worse than with Rosie. I thought it would get better since he has dropped too. Nope! I hope he has a flowing mane of hair after this!!
Zantac was miracle medicine for me, too.
RTV, I also had good luck with liquid Gaviscon. It didn't last as long, but worked immediately. GL to her!
I had to see a GI doc during my pregnancy for terrible heartburn. I ended up taking 2 Prilosec and 2 Zantac per day at the end of my pregnancy. I definitely recommend seeing a GI doctor if it gets too bad.
I'm all about the Pepcid these days. And Smoothie Tums. I take it all before bed. So far it's doing the job. Forgot to take it once and woke up with acid burning my throat. I will not forget again.
