If baby is lower, why is heartburn worse?!

[kirstylm]

I'm at the very final stages of labour now, 3 days till DD and I know she's engaged and really lower as I can feel it.
Yet at nighttime heartburn is really playing up.
It's not every night but tonight for example I feel like I need to throw up and no amount of gaviscon advance is easing it!
If she's not up high why is it getting worse??? Doesn't make sense!

I'm due today and have the same problem. I guess it's hormonal, maybe what helps down below soften and open, softens and opens the sphincter at the top of your stomach too, like in first tri.

Good luck to us! How will you celebrate DD? I'm going for a waddle at the mall and having a haircut!

I'm due tomorrow and have had incredible heartburn and indigestion for the past week, to the point I can't sleep and I have vomited. Nothing helps! I wish I knew the answer too, as it feels like little boy is falling out!

Could be I guess it's horrid. The good thing is I know as soon as baby is out its gone for good as this was the case with my first and had it even worse that time!
I'm celebrating by having massive curry, few glasses of wine and loads on chocolate!!!'
Can't wait!!!

Fingers crossed it won't be more than a few more days for us!
