bed rest and nausea

I am currently 31 weeks weeks pregnant and has been on bed rest since 28 weeks.  The past week and a half I've been feeling extremely nausea (mostly in the morning).  I feel like the food I ate is constantly at my throat and never pass my esophagus.  Anyone experience this while on bed rest?

Re: bed rest and nausea

  • Hi!  I see you are from NoVa.  Have you joined the local parents of multiples group?  There are some fantastic resources on there.

     It sounds like you have really bad heartburn.  I developed it around the same time as you are now, and since I had never had it before, I didn't even know what it was.  It got worse up until I had the boys and my MFM gave me a prescription to help. 

    If it keeps getting worse, check with your doctor and he may have some suggestions to lessen the symptoms.

  • Thank you so much.  I figured it was heartburn.  I tried taking tums but it didn't do much.  I just don't want to take anymore meds.  I'm already on procardia 4 times a day to prevent contractions.  Guess I'll just suck it up a couple more weeks.  My ob said short term goal is 32 weeks. Ideal is 36 weeks but if go in at 34 they will let them out.  
  • a side effect of nifedipine is heartburn too :(
