Hi guys......
Last night was one of the worse nights of my life! 
At about 10pm I started to feel a heartburn so like all of you guys have suggested, I had a long glass of cold milk....went to bed! Then woke up at 1am with the feeling that my insides were on fire...not just the chest but tummy too. I freaked out and thought oh my God what is this? and is this hurting the baby? but my baby reassured me that all is well with her, by doing the usual...kicking mummy! I was in tears by 2am...walked around with milk and just did not know what to do...Hubby wanted to take me to the hospital.....Finally I went back to bed at 5am...came to work at 10am.....I dont know if I can go thru that again.....
What can I do? and is it normal to feel the burning sensation in your tummy/chest area?  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Sorry to say this but I had wicked heart burn like you described a lot during my pregnancy and nearly anything physical used to trigger it, even hanging the washing out! I found the liquid mylanta really helped, my midwife advised to try other things first though like peppermint tea or giner, but none of them worked so I tried the mylanta, tastes gross though but worth it, I probably drunk litres of it if you add it all up.
I would def double check with your midwife though if your worried

Yah I spoke to her and she said that it is common to have heartburn like mine....tho she thought I would have had them way before...I am lucky! (Yah right!!!)
She said get some gavascon(??) or mylanta. So I am going to go and get me some! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hey there, I got it really bad, and I too was in tears most nights! I brought myself Mylanta Tabs.. in fruit flavour.. so they were quite nice and.. they are only $1-2 per pack depending where you go.
Give them a try 
Good luck Trish |

i just read somewhere that bananas are supposed to be good for heartburn too, the milk never worked much for me but did take mylanta and that worked ok. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I had it quite bad from about 20-something weeks. My midwife said to try liquid Gaviscon, which I did and it helped but then made me throw up (damn morning sickness!). She also said that drinking milk is only a quick fix and might make it worse long term by neutralising the acid which makes the stomach want to work overtime and make more. Don't know if that's right or not tho.
I found that certain foods set it off too, esp mince (which I still can't eat even now), cucumber, lettuce and canned spaghetti. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

also try limiting eating just before you go to bed, and sleep with a fe extra pillows so that you are more upright.. that way there is less chance that acid will reflux back into your esophagus. sorry to tell you, it's prety common as baby gets bigger, cos she will push on your tummy and also all those lovely hormones make the mucsles that hold your tummy closed all loose so they don't close properly. try to limit spicy food too.

Yeah I need to try some of that too. It hasnt been too bad - earlier on it was a few foods that caused it but now its everything! Less room in there now! Makes me cough a lot cos the acid irritates at the back of my throat ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I have good days and then I have bad days. I have a very active baby and so you guys can imagine.....I think it is hard to get comfy (just when you get into bed)...once I am comfy then I doze off.....
Gavascon is not too bad...I think I am getting use to it now. I had to have some last night....Try it, its not that bad....better than heartburn!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I had the best sleep last night!! All because Daniel was away and I had the whole bed to myself ! If the bad sleeps continue once he gets home he may have to be moved to the spare bed ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

LOL...Poor hubby!!
Do you sleep with pillows under your belly? I dont do that yet but might have to, as I am finding it hard laying on my side and all the weight is putting pressure on my ribs..... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

For me BH has been weird...one moment I am working or doing some thing...and the next min is like "what the....." and then next min I am fine!
Judith, I am so glad that you are doing well and so is the bub! You might have the bub before I have mine! Ok so you might sick of being on bed rest...but think at the end of it all you will have a bub in your arms...makes it all worth it!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Glad its all going well Judith, apart from the discomfort. So you'll probably have your bubs about the same time as me (6-7 weeks)! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

| well, I think if you were stressing, that would be really bad for the baby right? So the fact that you did something to relieve the stress must be good! |

Yeah i agree. You are right you know your body and its probably much better for you and baby if you are less stressed. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I'm glad you got some time out Judith, obviously the babe is ok and you are alright.
It must be so sad not being able to hang with Caleb. You obviously miss him soo much! It'll be too soon that you'll have your new babe and him back in the house and you'll be missing us instead! hehehe
