I'm Going to Die of Heartburn!

Jul 01, 2011 01:32

Someone please tell me that heartburn so bad it feels like someone shoved a white hot knife down my throat is some unknown precursor to labor. Please? Pretty please? My God, I thought I had heartburn throughout this pregnancy, but I had no idea what I was talking about. I woke up a little before 1:00 in so much pain that I wanted to cry and ( Read more... )

Talk to your doctor about Pepcid. It has done wonders for me!

Feel better soon!

Zantac, or Losec! And I find in the middle of the night, when I wake up with the burny acid pukes, that the only thing that'll knock it down a bit is liquid Maalox. It tastes like ass, but I find the liquid works WAY better than Tums.

Good luck!

I'll second the Pepcid but the AC one. It's the higher priced one but you can get the Walmart version for about $5.00. I'm the type who cannot eat anything with flour in it when in my last trimester or the heartburn is insane and when I was pregnant with Jolie I spent the last 4 months living on oatmeal and milk even with medicine.

I feel you with the whole reach into your vagina. I asked the doctor if it would help for me to shine my husbands Army flashlight (it has a crazy light) up my vagina for her to "come towards the light". He looked at me like I was nuts but the nurse whispered "do it" when they were leaving.

It's totally ok for "being a whiny brat" this is a safe zone. Drama free remember. Let your hair down. Sorry to hear your heartburn is bad. Wanna trade I've been throwing up since last night and can't keep anything down. Ok all kidding aside I really do hope you feel better love. ::hugs::
