Labour Pain and more ....

[sixzigma]

Hey Ladies ..

I am 26 weeks pregnant , with our second baby !As I am getting closer to the third Tri ,the thoughts of my first labour scares me! So was hoping to ease my anxiety and looking for tips if any .
With DS1 (My baby is 16 months old now ) at 37 weeks my water broke & my labour pains and contractions lasted for 14 hours , I was induced when at 2 cm, but the most traumatic part of my active labour part was- heart burns...with each contraction I had these bouts of heart burns that often resulted in me throwing up -since I was on G&A ,i mostly threw up blood red stuff (sorry TMI ) .Has any one else had them ? Is there anything one can do to avoid these heartburns? or where they really heartburns ?.

Hmm, I haven't heard of this before, but do you think just taking Gaviscon might help, if it happens again? Or maybe your MW could prescribe something else. I'd talk to your MW about it at your next appointment, I bet she will have some ideas about what you can do to help with it. It sounds really rubbish, hope you find a solution!
