Is there a name for this??

I know heartburn & indigestion are a normal thing for pregnancy, and I even had it pretty bad during my first pregnancy, but this is just awful. I constantly have the worst heartburn of my life, even if I don't eat anything. It makes me feel super sick to my stomach so I can't even eat!! I've tried Gaviscon, Tums, Rolaids, Mylanta, Maalox, and absolutely nothing helps!! Is this some sort of pregnancy disorder-type thing like you can get i.e. preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, etc? Or just extra-bad heartburn? Someone help me!!!!

    I don't know, but I am eager to read responses! My chest feels like it is melting from the inside. It was so bad it was causing me to vomit earlier today!

    It used to keep me up nights with my first.  Try walking around and SLOWLY drinking water.

    I can't stomach the idea of milk, but milkshakes and ice cream have done the trick for me!

    Also tea - orange tea. It sounds counter-intuitive because there's citrus in it, but it's worked. I don't question it.

    UGH I had THE worst heartburn too - I actually still do but not as bad for some reason.  When it was bad, my throat actually hurt down near my larynx and it hurt to swallow.

    I have chronic heartburn and reflux, which actually has been doing better since getting pregnant.  I expected it to be tons worse, feel very grateful that it's under control - at least for now.  I take the prescription dose of Zantac (ranitidine is the generic name) 150 mg. twice daily - it makes a big difference.  Talk to your MD about your options.  Good luck, hope you're feeling better soon.

    I would be a burning pile of acid if it wasn't for my Prilosec!
