is this heartburn?

Hi ladies,

I've never suffered from heartburn, but right now i feel as though my throat is fire (and not in a im coming down sick kinda way). I've only just found out i'm pregnant, is it to early to be suffering from heartburn... i didnt even know it could be a sypmtom until i started experiencing it? It's not letting me go to sleep... what can i do to make this go away?!?!

TIA

I'd say it's probably not if it's in your throat. Heartburn is more a burning feeling in your oesophagus. I always feel it lower than my throat, like mid chest level.
but, that being said, it certainly could be.. and it's not too early.. it's the hormonal surge that does it this early

to soothe it now try drinking some milk. It's a natural antacid. Quick eze and mylanta etc are safe in pregnancy too if you have any. Honey is good to soothe throats too.

congrats on your BFP btw!! :hugs:

hi jag,

i thought heart burn should have been lower as well... what ever the case, i did have some milk and it went away and i managed to get to sleep so your advice was definately helpful regardless of what the problem was.
