I'm 28 weeks with horrible acid reflux/heartburn. I havent been able to eat in 3 days and everytime i sit up i puke. I've tried all over the counter meds plus prescribed ones. is there anything I can do to keep from losing weight and keep baby healthy?

Question

can my doctor induce me in a month or 2 if I continue to lose weight and can't eat for baby?? I'm worried I'll make him sick or tiny or cause a stillborn by not being able to give him nutrients.. help please.

Answer

Can you try drinking protein shakes at least? I’ve struggled with acid reflux almost daily since getting pregnant with my first and there are some days where it’s so bad that I don’t want to eat or anything but I suffer through it. Haven’t been out on any medications myself but often times whenever it’s bad, sipping on an icee will help out big time. I don’t know what triggers yours though so I don’t really know what else to suggest. I don’t think that they would induce you for that though as I’ve not heard of doctors doing that before. Ask them though and see what they might be able to do to help you better.
