So sorry you are going through this, Bel- it really is the most awful feeling. I got to the point with DS where I couldn't drink water without getting it!!! I lived on Rennies- that's all I can offer. I hope it improves, hon! And all the best with rest of your pregnancy!
I can only suggest to lay off the soft drink and caffine if your having any and possibly skipping the chips. Hosp food always seemed to have chips.
I noticed my heartburn flared up after coke (which i love) and also chips/steak with fat. I layed off for a week,taking mylanta as a prevention before bed (only seem to get in the middle of the night). After that week it was heaps better. Have had a mild case which i managed to head off.
I would be complaining as i told my husband my first heartburn attack was as painful as labour. The pain was so bad i threw up which made it unbearable. I was laying on our back stairs naked (cause i'd been down for a shower to wash off spew) moaning like a woman in labour. Funny in hindsight but not at the time.
I normally can't sleep sitting up but found i was able to nod off sitting up using a beanbag behind my head/back.
Thanks ladies...all suggestions will be tried in my search for an end this foul pain! I haven't got to pain worse than labour yet..I hope that isn't to come!
My father who suffers from heartburn and usually has quick eze or whatever was surprised how fast the tums worked and they actually taste not to bad, they sorta have an orange flavor to them.
yeah i agree re the tums - i have had bad heartburn with both pregs and i also have an ulcer which makes it worse.. someone told me totry tums and i think they are FAB.
