19th October Ladies ... **5 Births Already**

[Mary Jo]

Ranitidine Is the only thing that helped with my Pre pregnancy heartburn but is it safe for pregnancy use?? I will maybe mention that stuff your on.
I agree it's deffo one of the worst alongside SPD

they're both safe for where we are in our pregnancies. not for 1st tri, when all LO's systems are developing, but we're practically 3rd now. really hope you get a prescription for one or the other.

some 26 week bump piccies nearly time for 3rd tri

UGH Heartburn SUCKS. Got it for the past three nights, no matter when/what I eat. It's gone by morning for me *knock on wood* but It keeps me up at night pretty late. I thought I had heartburn in 1st trimester, this is like nothing I've ever had before.

sam - lovely bump pics

Phantom- seems heartburn has got most of us ..... its awful!! & LOL at your ticker again .... baby can roll its eyes!!

 

[sam#3]

i havent had heartburn yet but there is plenty of time im sure!!

 

[BabyDeacon]

no heartburn for me just yet either bet were gonna jinx our selfs now!

 

[katerdid]

God, heartburn is the bane of my existence now. I have to down a cup of milk and eat 5 million tums to make it go away for 2 seconds lol. Can't wait til that part is over!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Sam & Victoria - you 2 are soo lucky escaping heartburn .... Let's hope it skips you completely

 

[Mary Jo]

just an update on my heartburn - so happy to report it is COMPLETELY GONE since starting on the omeprazole. I can drink water and juice and everything, it's amazing - I'd forgotten what it's like! we had curry last night for dinner and no consequences, nothing. but it's drinking water on an empty stomach when I am thirsty in the night that's the best thing. I just couldn't do it before without needing more Gaviscon/Rennies right after, and then cleaning my teeth because I couldn't sleep with a yucky mouth. it was such a palaver.

so don't suffer, ladies. there is something that will help and if you're in the UK you can get it free on the NHS.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Oh wow that's great Mary Jo !! I'm off to the docs!! Haha x

 

[sam#3]

Super pleased you have something that works

I remember having it really bad with #1 i would literally glug down gaviscon out of the bottle every few minutes - and i dont know how true it is but she came out like a baby chimp so if its a hair thing this little lady must be a baldilocks so far!!

 

[Phantom710]

I think my baby must have a bald spot. I only get heartburn at night. bahahahha. not a full days worth, so no head of hair for me.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Mines gonna be an ape! lol xx

 

[Phantom710]

anyone else getting crazy headaches too?

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Luckily no (touch wood) ... i got a few headaches around 16 weeks but nothing since .... thankfully xx

 

[Mary Jo]

I've had a few headaches the last couple of days but nothing really before then, not even in 1st tri, which is when I got them last time.

today my sides round to my back are aching. like period pain, which is disconcerting, but it's constant, not coming and going every few mins, so I'm not worried. but it's annoying nevertheless.

I thought Adam would be a hairy beast but he wasn't, he had a respectable covering but not what anyone would call a lot. he was practically bald till he was 1. now he's got quite long curly hair.

 

[Phantom710]

Mine has just started he past week or so, I had a few headches in first tri, but nothing since.

I think I might stop by the doc's office on Monday (or wednesday- since that's when I go in anyways) and see how much they charge for their 3d/4d scans. I can tell baby is already STARTING to run out of room as he doesn't roll and etc as much anymore. so i want to get pics before he's completely mooshed.

 

[nypage1981]

I had headaches bad earlier but havent for a few weeks. Forgotten about them... had to take tylenol once in a while cuz they got icky.

Anyone get BH? we had this convo before, just wanted to check with you all to make sure im normal. I get BH and they make me have to urgently pee. Is this normal?

 

[katerdid]

I get BH all the time now. They usually come at night which sucks. But mine don't really have to make me pee more than usual. Although I do know they get better when you drink a lot of water...do you use that remedy? That'll certainly make you need the loo.

 

[Phantom710]

I've been getting BH for awhile. Especially if i'm walking (more than like around the house- let's say... around the block kind of walking). And they get kinda painful, but totally die again if I slow my pace or stop walking all together. is that odd?
