struggling this go round

Alex
I've been diagnosed with GERD. It is probably the most painful thing I've ever experienced. That on top of still having morning sickness is kicking my butt. I sure hope this baby knows he or she is worth every bit of struggles. Being a girl who hates taking medicine this is also killing me having to take Zantac twice a day.

I was diagnosed with GERD about 9ish years ago and I've tried every antacid under the sun until my doctor prescribed me Omeprazole. I was on 20mg at first, but then it stopped working so he upped it to 40mg and that's what I've been taking for like 3 years now. And the weird thing is now that I'm actually pregnant the acid reflux has gone away 🙄 I'm almost 14 weeks and I've taken the omeprazole maybe 3 times. Hopefully the GERD stays away and I could enjoy being pregnant.

I've had it since I was 16. With my son, it never really bothered me. With this one, I have to take my daily prescription which I've been on for years, and Zantac on top of it!

Ugh, the struggle is SO REAL. I was diagnosed with GERD a little over a year and a half ago. I never thought the chest tightness and breathing issues would be so much worse with pregnancy while taking my meds, but boy was I wrong to not assume! I shoulda known! 😩
