Is this reflux?

[sshellzp]

Hey everyone, recently I have been feeling sick like I am back into the 1st trimester again :( I cant seem to be able to eat much and am burping a lot, about every 5 minutes. I feel sick pretty much all day except for a few blocks here and there. Is this reflux, morning sickness or a combination of both? I have tried rennies and they dont work at all.

Thanks,

Shell.

Hi Shell!
I can tell I have reflux/heartburn because of the 'burning sensation'. I feel it at the base of my throat. It kind of feels like after you've vommitted bile (so gross, I know) and you still have that burning feeling. Laying down, bending over, running all make it feel worse.
Is that the kind of thing you are getting?
I do find that I burp alot as well, and a burp feels good and relieves the feeling for a few seconds, but then it comes back :(

I'm sorry you are feeling so crappy! I hope you start to feel better soon. Try and eat small meals frequently, stick to bland food and maybe see if that helps?
good luck

Yep that sounds like it !

Also may be triggering you feeling yuck which feels like MS when it isnt.

Go get some Mylanta .... Rennies do bugger all !

Milk is another option as it soothes your throat & may help your tummy unless you are sensitive to it.

Bugger huh but its a great sign that bubs is getting bigger & pushing against your insides ... Doesnt help much but thats a bonus for you !

Sounds like heartburn to me too! i had this with my bub, took me a while to figure out what was going. Mylanta is great! Try having smaller meals or snacking and stay away from acidic foods such as tomatos ect. Apparently heartburn means the baby is going to have a lot of hair, this was very true with my DS! Good luck hope u feel better soon

Ahh Shell you poor thing!
I take Zantac which prevents me from getting hearburn for about 10 hours!! But check with your Doctor first (my doc recommended it so all good :thumbsup:) My heartburn has just gotten worse and worse al through my pregnancy.
If I forget to take the zantac, the heartburn comes back again.. I find that the chewy QuickEze work best for me. Mylanta and Gaviscon make me gag :no: but are apparently really good for other people!
Good luck!
