heartburn

Avatar f tn I recently went to my drs office and mentioned that I was feeling nauseated again at 36 weeks. He stated that it's due to indigestion and I brought up how I used to be on an acid reflux medicine called protonix before getting pregnant but discontinued use of it after finding out. I've been feeling horrible but I'm iffy about taking it. anyone ever taken nexium during pregnancy?
562884 tn?1279632334 MUCH! Gosh, I have had it bad the past couple of nights, I hate rolaids they gag me, *yuck* Well Jeremy bought me some of the chewy ones, they are not too bad, I keep telling myself, it's ok keisha deal with it, this means she will probly have hair! LOL suck it up. BUT it has been so bad I can't sleep, it's way worse when I lay down. This is all new for me, I had my first bout of it about a month and a half ago, then it kinda stopped.
Avatar n tn Im a FTM. However, I suffered severe reflux and indigestion before falling pregnant. Ive now found everything has multiplied because ive had to come off my specific meds. Sipping milk can sometimes help, i know it does with me. Water can sometimes also give you indigestion. So still drink water, but slower etc. Specific fruits can worsen it too such as oranges etc because of the acidity.
Avatar m tn No it's not but it may cause heartburn.
Avatar f tn I can't ever remember a time when I've had indigestion. I can eat anything and it's never bothered me. For the past 2 days i've had the most horrible indigestion. No matter what I eat I have it . Really don't know if this has to do with pregnancy, but since I've never expereinced it before I thought it might. Does anyone know if it is related? Typically, I eat bran cereal or an egg sandwich for breakfast.
Avatar f tn Is it common to have indigestion and heartburn in week 7 because I dont ever recall this during my first two pregnancies?
Avatar f tn Zantac 150 does miracles and is completely safe during pregnancy. My dr Prescribed it to me, and it's over the counter. For all my other pregnancies I took tums, but it never helped. I used to take like 5-8 tums a day and still had bad heartburn...with zantac 150..it's just one pill all day and it all goes away.. Hope it helps.
2020005 tn?1628125976 Ive read Baking soda is high in sodium and can cause water retention in pregnancy eg swollen feet and fingers so I wouldn't recommend. I used to take gaviscon cool.heartburn tablets and they worked great.
Avatar f tn Thank you for the well wishes and best of luck to the remainder of your pregnancy and congratulations on your.little one!!!
Avatar f tn Oh my god it sounds like your having a bloody awful time! I've had trouble with sleeping due to heartburn and indigestion too so I know how you feel with that one....it's absolute hell. How many weeks are you now...Hope you havnt got long left?
Avatar f tn Before being pregnant I've never had heartburn or anything like it. The past few days every time I eat, my chest starts hurting. Sometimes accompanied with a burning. Is this normal? I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow.
Avatar f tn SOunds like it, I get heartburn and indigestion so bad that it goes into my back. You can try taking some tums for now but they may not help since it is so severe. Sleep on an incline tonight and call your OB in the morning. I was prescribed prilosec OTC by my OB, it is a class C but the ladies on the maternal forum convinced me that my doc wouldn't have prescribed it if he didn't think it was safe.
1499174 tn?1327231194 You can take Nexium, or even the Purple Pill, Prilosec which is OTC and safe in pregnancy according to the OB's I had with my pregnancies. here's a site with info on ways to prevent it, treat it, and other things http://heartburn.about.com/od/preventingheartburn/a/pregnancyhrtbrn.htm and another http://www.webmd.
Avatar f tn Nothing helped and I had it my entire pregnancy. Oh, and he came out BALD! Its 2 and a half now and JUST had his first hair cut. He didn't even really need one lol. My OB told me gaviscon was safe but, it did nothing for me either.
Avatar f tn Everybody is different, every baby, and every pregnancy is different. This is completely normal. I had no morning sickness during my pregnancy, and I had a huge healthy baby!
Avatar f tn thanks i will give them a go...
367974 tn?1286551158 But definitely do some more research. I drank a ton of OJ during my pregnancies and it is packed with citric acid. The Vitamin C is VERY good for you and baby!
Avatar f tn You could try tums for the indigestion. Those are safe and Tylenol is fine to take during pregnancy. Hope you feel better soon!
Avatar f tn ve had indigestion since before 10 weeks and continue to have it pretty much daily. And yes, the hair is a wives tail b/c I had the same with my first two and they didn't have a lot of hair, just a normal amount for a newborn.
12226398 tn?1424524461 Is it bad to eat alot of spicy food during your pregnancy? Ever since ive been pregnant I'vr aten alot of spicy food, I know I heard that your baby can possibly be born with alot of hair, but I don't believe it only for the fact that my mom was the same and I came out almost bald!! (I'm still kinda like that) but im just wondering if any of you ladies think its okay to eat spicy food, or not?
278664 tn?1319840159 I have bad acid reflux this pregnancy and was told tums can make it worse and if it's really bad milk won't work. The only time I take tums or milk is if I have slight indigestion or heartburn, but if it's bad, it will keep producing acid in your body and make you feel worse.
368690 tn?1284357253 I get heartburn and indigestion after everything that I eat! I also get the heart palpatations, but I've noticed that they happen when I am hungry. I was worried about them at first, but then noticed that it would accompany my heartburn when I was hungry. I think that heartburn is just one of the many down sides of pregnancy - I never had it before I was pregnant.
Avatar f tn This is my 2nd pregnancy and have really bad indigestion. Im 25 weeks and the thought that I have to go through another 3 months of this is really depressing. Had severe sickness at the beginning so it feels like my whole pregnancy is a strain. Does anyone know wether it meansthat the baby has lilots of hair as thats what I keep hearing? Never had indigestion with my daughter.
Avatar f tn I am taking zantac 150 it helps with indigestion and believe it or not it really helps with the nausea
Avatar f tn Eat Fresh Grapefruit Sweetie. Its extremely effective at reliving heartburn and indigestion.
