Oh hello heartburn, please leave kindly.

It seems like everything is happening earlier with this pregnancy, including now heartburn. At this point with DS I thought indigestion was heartburn, but hadn't yet experienced the real thing.

I'm on day 4 in a row and finally broke down and bought some Tums. I was trying to pretend that it was just a fluke, but I've finally realized it's not going anywhere. :( This morning my peanut butter toast and water gave me heartburn.

Who else has this lovely symptom already?

  • I need to bring Tums to work. Water gives me heartburn. I swear, each passing day is worse. It gets really bad at night before bed. DH thinks I'm always going to vomit because I'll put my hand to my chest when it starts and he's like "Oh no... do you need to go to the bathroom?" And I stare at him and say "my stomach isn't in my chest just yet... Smile"

  • I'm so sorry you are dealing with that so soon! I hope the Tums help you out.

    I haven't had heartburn yet, but I have had it before and I'm not looking forward to it. Maybe I'll get to skip that lovely symptom. ;)

  • Me! 

    I also find this candy helps.  It isn't as powerful as crystallized ginger (which is super strong).   It isn't what I'd call "mild" but it is more mild and tastes more like candy.

  • Oh yeah. It just happens out of the blue too. I'll not even be eating and have it.

  • Me. Had it with DD and so I'm not shocked. I have tums on both floors of the house and need to buy it for my purse again. Though I'm waiting until after our trip since who knows if that'd get flagged by airport security.

  • I don't have it yet, but I was wondering when it usually starts...

    My husband has been reading more than me and has been giving me the side eye while I keep eating pickles and putting jalapenos on my pizza.  He's warning me that I might be in for a world of hurt soon.

    When did it kick in full time with your first?  If I don't have it at all yet, might I be luckier?

    It wasn't until late 2nd tri with DS, which is why I'm surprised by it already!

  • I have heartburn so bad!  My doctor told me I am okay to take Zantac.  It has helpd a lot! Hope you find something to make it easier!
