Today, I was woken up by a gushing shot of stomach acid that not only choked me, but also burned the heck out of my mouth and sinuses. I'm 3 months pregnant, only 6 more months to go. FML

ask your OB for omneprezol (pepcid) to take daily. not harmful to the baby and helps soooo much!!! in the mean time, a teaspoon of baking soda in half a cup of warm water. tastes nasty and salty but will neutralize the acid.

Oh god OP I'm so sorry, that sounds awful. Hope you feel better soon!

That anti acid is amazing and really does work after taking it. I also never knew baking soda helped. I learned something new today. Thanks.

I've been belching fire since I was about 12. Get an incline pillow for your bed, a few week's supply of Prilosec, and learn to avoid foods that trigger acid reflux. If you're lucky it'll abate on its own following your pregnancy. Good luck and congratulations!

Better to see a doctor about getting put on any medication, when pregnant. Too many things can cause issues.

There's no way this is an almost FML. No ...way

Zantac and tums! Been there 3x it helps.

If the old wives take is true, at least your baby will have a lovely head of hair!

My doctor said it was safe to take up to 300mg of Zantac as well. Of course get your OB's opinion first.

If you can drink a can coke or Dr Pepper and eat regular m&ms it will help with the heart burn hope this helps

good luck! I don't miss it and I have 17 more weeks to go :( . maybe see if you're doctor can give you something for it?
