I don't usually have acid reflux... But last night was horrible! There is nothing worse than waking up to stomach acid in your throat! It kept happening all darn night even after tums! This morning my throat is killing me.

ShawnaG123 · April 2016

Sorry to hear you had a crappy night! I have had some nights that it feels like my esophagus / throat is on fire. It has helped me to stop eating at least 1.5 hours before I lay down. Also, on nights that it is super bad a small glass of milk has made me feel better.

I have never experienced throat pain in the morning, so hopefully other ladies have suggestions for how to remedy that. I hope you feel better!

My dr allows Pepcid (famotidine) which I will take when it's really, really bad and tums don't work! Hope you feel better, I know how unpleasant it is!

I get really bad throat pain at night lately. If I remember to take a Zantac before dinner, no pain at night! I highly recommend it. Tums stopped working for me months ago.

Zantac before dinner with a big glass of water, and first thing in the morning with water, helps control mine. I have horrible heartburn during pregnancy.

This was me last night as well! It was terrible! I ended up taking a Zantac (my dr says this is fine) after several tums didn't work

I 2nd the zantac before bed. I hate taking anything, but I've been waking up with Heartburn so bad, I get sick. The zantac helps, I also buy mint flavored maalox/mylanta and keep it in the fridge.

I definitely feel your pain

artlea2013 · April 2016

Chewing Tums like candy some days. I haven't had heartburn, but with the pregnancy gas (so much burping!) I've been seriously crying over the amount of acid reflux. We definitely feel your pain.

jennk0118 · April 2016

I will definitely try the Zantac before bed.. I just drink water at work (except today.. Ha!) but the water even comes up sometimes.. It catches me off guard. I've never had this happen before. This pregnancy is so opposite of my first one, I feel like I've never been pregnant before. 10 more weeks.. 10 more weeks!

My doctor told me to take zantac before dinner. I actually found eating a bowl of cereal about an hour before bed helps too. I think it's the milk. It also keeps me from waking up hungry.

Zantac or Prilosec. The extended release, 20mg pills you take one a day. LIFESAVER!!!! and throat saver too. I was just so annoyed with waking up in the middle of the night to pop some tums, I needed a different option.

HighFive16 · April 2016

Add me to this club. Yesterday was awful and I was taking tums like there was no tomorrow. It always pops back up when I am trying to get to sleep too. So painful!

nightwitch · April 2016

Even water gives me heartburn right now. I'm pretty sure this child's cellular structure is going to be comprised of at least 50% Pepcid AC. I'll have to check out the extended release prilosec, thanks for that tip!

I HATE THAT!

My my arm is killing me from the tdap. I don't complain on FB either, (especially because it's like "oh boo hoo, I'm having a baby," when some of my friends would give both their arms to be pregnant, [been there,]) but really really really want to complain about it!

It'll get better but yeah, tdap sucks. I got mine on Friday and I'm just now getting to the point of it not being super sore. Still have a little bruise where it was given but that's fading too.

I eat a piece of cheese before bed. It works for me. If I wake up in the middle of the night though, I'll pop a TUMs from a bottle that I sleep on my nightstand.

purplefan1 · April 2016

Randomly for me switching to the gestational diabetes diet (watching carb intake and eating throughout the day) completely killed the heart burn I was experiencing. Mine was terrible and tums wouldn't touch it and water made it even worse. I don't know exactly what change made it go away but I have felt so much better!! I even ate spicy garlic wings the other day and had no heart burn. I do wonder if it helps more now that I am eating 3 full meals a day and 3 snacks a day plus food before bed (I completely agree with a bowl of cereal before bed!)

Tagment 800mg at night before bed.... mine is terrible for sure... I was taking a single nexium at night but switched to Tagment because that's what my dr suggested...

I called it liquid fire... makes me want to cry just thinking of it.... it would wake me up choking on it and then my throat burns foe a little bit after....

Knottie13257900 · April 2016

Yep, it's like having a little puke in the back of your throat constantly...

ashleygray89 · April 2016

Ughh I had dominos the other night.. woke up with the worse acid reflux.. sadly it all came up.. which vomiting ain't nothing but a thing now.. sometimes a glass of milk helps me before bed and sleeping propped up.
