Heartburn fixes?
| Wed, 02-22-2012 - 8:21am |
Hi Everyone!
So now that the morning sickness is going away -- the heartburn has really kicked in. It's not so bad until evening and then it's very uncomfortable. I've taken tums a few times and I try to eat a good diet. But, I don' know if it's okay to take tums like every day? Any other ideas to try?
Also - i'm 13 weeks now and wondering when it's really going to start to show? I see all your pictures and you have such cute bumps and I still hardly look like anything is happening in there!! When did you start to show with your first??
Thanks! Kara

My nurse told me that I could take tums as needed. Also, something that worked for me (pre-pregnancy, mind you) was Mylanta liquid. I had my gall-bladder removed back in 2000, but when I have one too many (or HAD, LOL), I'd get that same kind of awful, kind of heartburny pain in my chest. A chug of that and I was almost INSTANTLY better. Talk to your OB or nurse and see what they advise, but I'm a hugemongous fan of Mylanta. Gross as all get out, but super effective for me. Hope you feel better soon!
As for showing... I think with Libby I might have been showing right about now, 16 weeks or so. But, it's different with everyone. You'll get that bump before you know it. :)

I think Tums are on the okay list.
