I hit 16 weeks today and I still can't eat like I want to. The first trimester was due to morning sickness and my second trimester is due to heartburn. I eat tumbs like they are candy to the point now they make me sick. I pee like crazy and the only thing I can drink is water which is great. I have not gain any weight yet and I just want to be able to eat. :
Re: I don't know what's worst
You need to talk to your doc about some alternatives to the tums. They are obviously not working. Also if you are average BMI than you really need to start eating. You need to gain about a pound a week to meet the weight gain requirements to sustain a healthy pregnancy. Try drinking some chocolate milk.
Side note: your post teeters on Brag-plaining. Very annoying.
Heartburn is kicking my butt too. I'm trying to eat smaller meals and stay away from the acidic foods like oranges and tomato sauce.
If it doesn't get better I may ask about zantac at my next OB appt.
