At one point it was so bad, prescription medicine wouldn't help. Then I convinced him to do green smoothies - A solid liter a day, between 20 minutes of eating "normal" food. It took about 2 weeks before noticing a significant difference, but it's helps soooo much. Banana, peach, berry, with a handful or two any leafy green and water is my favorite, it tastes like a milkshake. It'll boost your stomach acids to meet and burn off the heartburn, but it takes a few days for your stomach acids to rise to the occasion. I hope you feel better!!Marenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12166318045480162195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-30413407843121432292012-08-24T06:24:20.382-07:002012-08-24T06:24:20.382-07:00Ugh heartburn.

Thankfully, cause it was miserable. <br /><br />The BH this time around are crazy. I have a ton more bh, I'm much more crampy, and overall just get a lot more sharp pains and achy feelings in my belly. <br /><br />I hope you can find a balance between getting stuff done and taking it easy. Let me tell ya, I do not do well with taking it easy. That would be a hard pill for me to swallow!<br />Kristalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844262891800455616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-55360138582862269652012-08-23T14:20:09.268-07:002012-08-23T14:20:09.268-07:00Oh heartburn is the absolute worst!

Like makes me throw up some nights... Anyways with both pregnancies I have been told that Famotadine (Pepcid) and Omeprazole (Prilosec) are okay. At the very end of my pregnancy last time I was watching my diet and taking a combination of both with still some but at least not as bad of heartburn. Unfortunately I'm already on the combo at 26 weeks this time :( Anyways just wanted to let you know that you could take or ask your doctor about taking Famotadine and Omeprazole.

I would have done anything to get doctor's orders to do absolutely nothing.<br /><br />The pain/pressure/BH contractions, I thought, were a million times worse the second time around. My belly was in physical pain by the end of the day that I would actually bust out ice packs and lay them on my stomach. It was agonizing....I can't imagine what having #3 would feel like!!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204415329892149964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-52686904107789094582012-08-23T10:42:42.975-07:002012-08-23T10:42:42.975-07:00With my first pregnancy, I had THE WORST heartburn...With my first pregnancy, I had THE WORST heartburn. I felt it all the way into my back. The pain was so intense, I would just sit there & cry. Tums never worked for me, either. I found that the liquid antacids worked much better than the chewables. Also, if you get really desperate, you can try the recipe on a box of baking soda. It's pretty much guaranteed to make you burp like a man, but, holy cow, does it feel good! Here's a link for the recipe: http://www.armandhammer.com/solutions/solution-53/Antacid.aspx?gclid=CKCDzail_rECFeaDQgodNDkABg<br /><br />Hope you feel better soon!<br /><br />P.S. It really IS okay to say no!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />A former people pleaser :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-4081430477496592242012-08-23T10:10:27.040-07:002012-08-23T10:10:27.040-07:00I remember feeling the same way when I was preggo,...I remember feeling the same way when I was preggo, especially once I was further along. My hubby and I were, and very much still are 'go-go-go' people. It's very rare that we stay at home, or don't have something going on. When I was preggo, we had to constantly change these plans and I had to finally start saying 'no.' Sitting on the couch and doing nothing is no picnic, and I couldn't image doing that now with a little one running around making a mess!<br /><br />I'm sorry about the heartburn as well. Heartburn is no fun, and it stinks even more when nothing is helping!!
