[rewizz]

35weeks and my throat and gullet are burning up ... (yep gaviscon) heart burn....
now i keep getting this feeling that i have a lump stuck in my throat and all of a sudden ..i'm being sick ... the same if i have anything to eat ... it doesn't even get to my digestive system and blarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ,,,,
to add insult to injury when i wretch i wet myself too .... ;-cry:
please tell me i'm not the one????

im the exact same without the wetting myself bit! and its at random times throughout the day/night, not just after i eat or anything. its gonna be SUCH a novelty once i have this little puppy and i wont be burning up all day every day!

You're not the only one. I have really bad sickness and acid all the time which makes me sick too. Sometimes it wakes me in the night choking on it. I have been making extra effort to do my pelvic floors with all my being sick but I do sometimes have to consciously squeeze them when I'm puking really badly to stop me peeing myself xx

oh goodness, i had AWFUL reflux when i was pregnant. I used to go through one of those massive bottles of gaviscon per week, by the time i got to third tri nothing else would help!

I'm the same, the acid makes me cough so bad I'm sick, it makes no difference what I eat, how much I eat when I eat, if I don't eat it just burns 24/7. Gaviscon make me feel sick evertime I have it and only works for about 1/2hour. Night is the worst I wake up all the time (if I can get to sleep) I have blisters on the back of my throat and I have 12 weeks left to go - if this bean is like us I have 14 weeks to go as we are alway late!!!!!!

Milk is great but it is adding to my congestion and again only works for a limited time!!!!

Isn't this just the worst?!?!? And not just choking on it, but the swallowing and instant burn all the way back down as well!!! I have found that chewing gum during the day helps me a lot, and it has cut back on the amount of Tums I need to take tremendously... but at night, I have no line of defense!

 

[MrsQ]

have you tried Zantac? One morning and one at night?

I hate it. My doc has prescribed me some tablets that are meant to stop my stomach making so much acid but they only seem to work to a degree, so I still get heartburn all the time xx

I was told by GP and also by Boots pharmacist that this shouldn't be taken during pregnancy as they really don't know about the side effects. xx
