Hello heartburn

Izabella22 · October 2011

Yech... I think I need to keep some milk handy, that seems to help. Any other sure cures? I don't think the fact that a very tiny little man is kicking at my liver is helping things... yeesh.

Hot drinks after you eat.

If it gets really bad and you are allowed mylanta does the trick

Sleeping with your head elevated

Don't eat any onions, orange juice or anything tart

I avoided anything tomato-y. I don't know if you eat a lot of tomato sauces or juices but I do and I figured out it was making it worse. Tums help a little and baking soda in water helped a lot for me!

tums don't do anything, and i'm too paranoid to take medication (i know, i'm being over paranoid but i can't help it!).

milk and sitting up right for 30 minutes after i eat are the only things that help me. oh and if i know it's something that bugs me, like tomatoe sauce, i'll drink milk before i eat to kinda coat my stomach and ease up the acid that's about to come down. and guarenteed, if i try to lay down before 30 minutes passes after i eat, i'll get heartburn, but if i stay sitting up - it doesn't get as bad.

i chug milk like it's going out of style though and that's so unlike me because pre-pregnancy, i hated plain milk. now i can't get enough of it! at least it's something good for me and the baby, ha.

There don't seem to be any specific triggers, like this morning I ate an egg sandwich for breakfast and now... ugh. Never given me a problem before... it seems pretty random. Yeah I'm going to have to start having milk around at work, so far its what helps the most. And I was never much of a milk drinker pre-pg so I guess its a good thing, good for me and him!

Izzy, I am sorry you have heartburn, looks like pp have some good suggestions. I don't think I've had it, but the warm drinks like tea sound pretty soothing. Aside from the heartburn, how are you and your LO?

I'm having the same issue. I just take a lot of TUMS.

Hello my dear! Me and the LO are doing really well, he's pretty busy! I, on the other hand, am starting to get really tired again, I can't believe I'm almost in 3rd tri! Where does the time go?!?

How are you and Dexter doing? Any premonitions if you'll go early/late? Feeling nervous or pretty relaxed about meeting the little man?

This exactly. I have had heartburn and indigestion this whole pregnancy. now in third tri, every time I bend over, I feel like I'm going to puke and get awful heartburn. Avoid anything tomato, chocolate or just acidic foods in general. Milk helps too and so does vanilla ice cream! I have been living off tums this pregnancy. Tums are just calcium, sugar and some flavoring.

Yep heartburn here every other day or so it seems....... I finally took a tums the other night because it felt like there was a dragon in my throat/chest and that helped. Also DH was going to have me do the baking soda/water thing. Sometimes I try milk, sitting up for a bit before bed and i think I'm going to start the 2-pillow thing again. ( I had acid reflux really bad for years and lived by the 2-pillow). I hope you get some relief soon.

I am glad you are doing so well, but sorry about the fatigue. Now that's a symptom that I DO have, haha! I think Dexter is doing well, although my belly feels super low today. I kinda think I am going to go late, this being the first "long-term" pregnancy that I have experienced....they say that the first time can take the longest, so we'll just see. I guess I am relaxed about meeting him, but nervous that I don't have everything ready. I'll be working on that some tonight hopefully!
