I cant believe its been a year!!

[Robin'sBrood]

I'm sorry to whine here but I just have to vent because I can hardly stand it anymore! I have stomach acid coming up constantly. Last night it woke me up when it came up INTO my mouth!!

Today I've eaten one small bowl of granola cereal with milk and here it is, hours later, and I'm still burping up stomach acid. It's HORRIBLE! I can't eat anything and I swear drinking water causes this to happen too. Good thing I'm not hungry because the thought eating anything is absolutely unappealing right now.

i hope you feel better soon!

i had the jerk doctor team today...the first one was rude to me, asking if i just wanted a c section and basically said i had been lying about my other birth experiences..i felt like an idiot! then, due to a bunch of stuff going on at home, i forgot my blood sugar paper and the other doctor i had to deal with jumped my case over that!
it might be irrelevant anyways because the baby has went from head down..to head up! they said that they might try to turn him and if that doesnt work, do a c-section, or just do a c-section. has anyone had any experience with a baby going from head down to head up this late in pregnancy? what are the chances of him going back to the right way?

i am just so embarrassed at how rude the doctors are at this place..jerks!

Robin -- can you get a script for Nexium. I needed right after my babies were born and probably could have used it during the first one. My hubby's SIL is on Nexium and she's 6 months pregnant. My doc told me that Prilosec OTC is the same thing as Nexium, except in a lower dosage and thus over the counter. And I know that most stores carry a generic Prilosec. I'd call my doc before I tried it, but it may make you feel much better. I'd try for the Nexium or generic of that (if it exists). You will feel great relief after about 3-5 days. You'll wonder why you didn't ask sooner!

Sorry you had such a bad day with doctors! Actually sounds like they were the ones having a bad day! It's not nice when they make you feel embarassed.

Robin - my doc also told me to take a Prilosec OTC every night with dinner.

Ack that is the worst!

After many many bottles of Mylanta, my OB FINALLY told me to take Prilosec OTC every night. I took them from about 14-20 weeks and they were a God send!​

Robin, you can take zantac or pepcid for the heartburn.

motherof5boys1girl, my last baby was breech until a few days before I went into labor. there's always a chance of baby turning.

I was told to try getting on my hands and knees with my butt higher than my head and that will sometimes help them turn. I've been doing that now hoping the twins will be heads down when the time comes so that I don't need a c-sect.

 

[Robin'sBrood]

Thanks, y'all. I'll have to try the Prilosec because I'm not going to survive this nasty acid that feels like its eating through my esophagus. I've had heartburn on and off but this acid reflux stuff just started, and Tums doesn't do a thing for it.

My morning sickness has worn away now I have sinus drainage that is making me throw it up violently with stomach acid in the morning and sometimes everything in the evening--fun!

Anyone else having a problem with coughing and peeing! I'm doing the kegels I promise, but good lord, I'm only in month 4 this is not looking good!



KellyHM--you were asking about asking for money to help with medical bills, I SOOO feel you. I have no insurance and am HOPING everything goes ok.

i bought some generic zantac and it didnt help one bit!
