Don't try to ignore your heartburn...
So, as I learned today; heartburn can make you puke blood!
I had a lovely lunch today; then about 2 hours later, my heartburn set in with a flaming vengeance. I didn't think much of it, until I randomly puked. No nausea, no warning, just puke.
Then I started puking blood. And quite a bit of it.
Obviously, this made me panic, so I went straight to the doctors, and after some prodding and poking, she told me everything was OK, but that my acidity had become so bad, it caused some bleeding in my oesophagus! I knew my heartburn was bad, but, I honestly thought that was normal, so tried not to complain too much! Whoops 😳
I'm just relieved it's nothing serious. They've given me a course of strong antacids for a few days to let me stomach recover. I guess I'll be replacing my water with milk for a while...
So yes... Just be careful with your heartburn; avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat regular snacks with Protein, and keep an eye on your acidity!
Baby is fine though, so that's a relief :)
