Hello Pregnant Fairies
Hope you are all well today and how are those babies and bumps doing?
Personally I had a great weekend until late Sunday night, I went to bed about 22h00 and woke up at 22h45 with the most horrible acid reflux to the extent that my chest was so sore and hurting so much, I was downing the gaviscon, but it was not helping the only relief I had was standing then the pain and reflux would ease up, thank god my mum was there, she sat with me until about 3am calmed me down baby was fine moving and sleeping just poor me. she just kept giving me water to sip. It even hurt when I swallowed.
I did fall asleep sitting upright in the sofa at about 03h45am and the pain eased away was up about 05h30 cause hubby was getting ready for work, then went back to bed, I didn't go to work today but I ate yogurt very early to see and the reflux has not surfaced all day so far and I keep eating smaller portions to try and prevent any acid build up but I'm nervous about sleeping tonight that's when it troubles me most.
I called my gynae she said continue with gaviscon and the smaller meals, sleep on higher stacked pillows at night and not eat anything heavy after 19h00 but I am nervous. I had heart burn in my first pregnancy, but never reflux and never so much pain from the reflux and it all happened in the 3rd trimester. I am scared if this is starting so early going to be very uncomfortable.
@Carmy, don't worry if your bump has not surfaced as yet, it will once the baby bug starts adding on the kg's, and it just means you have longer time before the back pain and heart burn, lol. Gynae told me cause baby is getting bigger and pushing on my stomach that's why so much heartburn, apparently also the hormones we produce cause the stomach valve to be more loose so much easier to let reflux into my oesophagus,

And with the added hormones release makes me suspect more I'm having a girl baby lol, all those hormones.
But your bump maybe different and not give you anything as well, I hope so I would wish reflux on anyone. Good luck with the scan tomorrow, hope you get to see everything!!! Please share the pics once you have them.
