Hi everyone,
I know it's debated when 2nd tri actually starts, but I figured I'd have more of a chance of hitting people between 12-13 weeks here than in 1st tri.
Basically the first 12 weeks of my pregnancy, I had little to no symptoms. Mostly just fatigue and a little bit of nausea, but not one single episode of vomiting at all.
I should say that I've suffered from acid reflux for years. So I've been taking Zantac 75 since my doctor said that is safe for pregnancy. The reflux has been AWFUL in pregnancy and all day long, rather than just at night like it used to be.
Anyway, my issue is that even the smallest amounts of food now seem to make my stomach turn. I feel awful after eating every single time. For "dinner" I ate a cheese sandwich on whole wheat with some mustard, and immediately felt painfully full and sick. I just vomited for several minutes and emptied my stomach. My body continued to retch and nothing was even coming out, but I couldn't stop.
Yesterday I hadn't eaten anything since lunch and was vomiting much in the same way as tonight, and that was over 10 hours after I had last eaten anything!
I'm really starting to worry as I don't think this is MS since I feel it would've started weeks ago. I'm worried that something could be wrong with the baby, and even worried to the point that something could be really wrong with me. I might be paranoid, but all I can think of is a colleague of mine who had stomach cancer and had similar symptoms.
Has anyone had this happen to them so late? I am hoping it's just acid reflux, but again, I'm wondering if a pregnancy can even cause reflux this bad so early on?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I plan to call my doctor on Monday but could use some reassurance in the meantime.
Thank you! x
