Severe Acidity
Hey to all and congrats for your pregnancies. I am new to this group. My due date is for July 25, 2010. Though this date is by my conception date. There is a discrepancy of two weeks based on my LMP.As per my LMP I am due for July 7, 2010. So lets see :). Presently I am 17 weeks running and nausea has gone..Glad :)..but I have been suffering from severe acid reflux ever since my 3rd month..what should i do as now i am running into my 5th month and its still very much there help please!!!
Wow, so far it looks like the trend is true with the heartburn vs hair! Maybe someone will break the trend and prove it wrong, but so far it looks like its a positive correlation!
I never had heartburn with my oldest and she was bald until she was 17 months (now she is blonde)! Had it really bad with my 2nd and she had a full head of black curly hair at birth (she is blonde also). This one is the absolute worst! I have red hair so Im hoping its growing a head full of red too lol
Heartburn is HORRIBLE... I can't find anything to help - except at night I am eating a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream.. the cold makes my throat feel better - the milk from the ice cream seems to calm it down a bit and the mint settled my tummy - or I am just finding a really long excuse to eat ice cream!!! If my baby is anything like its daddy (he has lots of hair ---everywhere!) - I am in for a very furry, hairy little girl!! UGH!!
thx to all for your replies....well now searching for tums or antacid tabs here in my market..i ihave been gulping down ulgel and antacid liquid..and its not quite helping...thx again
Im having horrible heartburn every time I eat so Im probably having a hairy baby haha.
yep I have had heartburn with all mine and they had full heads of hair! Platnium blonde, jet black, sandy blonde, brown. And this one I am not sure of yet:)
LOL....Cycle3chick...I've heard that hair and never believed it until my girls were born. They had VERY thick black hair...my youngest's hair looked like a wig when she was born...lol. This time (knock on wood) my heartburn hasn't been bad....I've been teasing my husband that this one might be bald=)
Yeah I pack the tums and they help but keeping a little solid food like a couple crackers sometimes when I have an emoty stomach helps. I have found that you can not drink without eating and that water hurts the most but I take it down anyways and that tomatoe is a NO NO for me. Don't know if this will help also for you.
My midwife has me take Papaya enzyme (I get them at a health food store or pharmacy)...works similar to Tums, or rolaids but also helps your stomach break down food and decrease acid. This works, but if heartburn is really bad, sometimes I have to take rolaids. During one of my pregnancies, she put me on a daily pill....I think it was Zantac or something....This was only because I had it sooooo bad, that it hurt to eat or drink anything because my asophagus (SP?) felt as though it was raw from acid=(
Good luck!
Good luck!
Awww, sorry, i don't think their is much you can do, i have had the acid reflux since the 3rd month. I take Tums, i carry them everywhere with me. They are also chewable and they help me quite a bit. Good luck!
Take an antacid tablet. They can be bought at the supermarket or the chemist. My favourite brand is Mylanta and I like the forest berry chewable flavour the best.
The other option (cheaper but less effective) is to drink a glass of milk.
