Heartburn

mone

Hey mommas I am currently 18+6 and the heartburn is killing me. It’s in my stomach like my previous pregnancy with my daughter but this time every symptom I’ve had are worse. I actually didn’t even have symptoms with my first daughter besides heartburn. But this pregnancy has been soo much harder and difficult for me, from the nausea, to extreme fatigue. & No appetite 😔 thankfully my second trimester has made me feel so much better . I’m back to my regular self and I feel my daughter moving & kicking everyday to the point she has a set time she’s active throughout the day ☺️ ..... but back to the topic at hand can someone please tell me how to deal with the heartburn because it’s very uncomfortable this time around . It’s 12 am & I can’t even sleep or relax ..

I’m taking Tums...so far they are helping a lot. I also drink milk when it gets bad and that helps as well.

Research some foods arhat you eat frequently that might make it worse. Don’t eat for a few hours before bed. If it wakes you up at night, prop yourself up with pillows to a 30 degree angle. When you are flat, gravity pulls the stomach contents upward.

Mine was TERRIBLE and my doctor prescribed me Pantoprazole. It is a life changer! Apparently since my last pregnancy Zantac was determined to be unsafe during pregnancy and Tums just doesn't cut it. HIGHLY recommend asking your doc for the prescription. I wish I had gotten it sooner. It takes a few days to start working but so worth it.

Chocolate makes mine worse so I try to stay away from it. Also I take Pepcid which works great and then I need just 1 or 2 tums if things are really bad ( lol usually I gave in and ate chocolate).

I have to stay away from anything that has extra spice. And I have to not eat to much at one time.
