    I got bad ulcers early on in my pregnancy... ouch =(

    and old home remedy my nan taught me, is put cold teabags in your mouth, so soak them so they are wet and just sort of suck on them.. doesn't taste fantastic but does help.

    I posted about it when I had mine and someone mentioned something about vit C deffiency, so might be worth thinking about that... mine was also made worse cause of the whole throwing up morning sickness thing, the stomach acid made them 10X as bad.

    *big hugs* hope they settle for you

    I get them really bad as well OP, I have all my life.

    I normally get them when I am run down, as well as cold sores (yes im normally a sight for sore eyes!!!). I use SM33 which you can buy from the chemist, it tastes like shyte but does the job, also try and stock up on Vitamin C and get lots of rest!

    My Vitamin C is usually pretty good - I feel like I'm getting a cold atm so I've been popping the Vit C tablets.

    I wondered if it was a stress/tiredness trigger...

    Might have to get some SM33 or something.

    Thanks guys...

    I get them bad too. PITA. I have one on my tongue now. I use sm33 to numb it when it really hurts and so I can eat. But also 'kenalog' which you can get from the chemist, helps to heal them up way faster! Not sure if it's ok when pregnant though.
