Okay this may be crazy, but I need other Bees' take on this. I've had a lump in my throat for about the past week and a half. I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I've never had this lump before--it normally comes after eating or drinking, and goes away some time later. It feels like I dry-swallowed a horse pill, it got stuck going down, and like I need to wash it down with some water.

Did you experience this during pregnancy? It doesn't hurt, it's just annoying. I can definitely tough it out, but if it is acid reflux (Dr. Google calls it "silent reflux"), I feel like I should take Tums so my esophagus doesn't get damaged. I don't see the OB for another month. Thoughts?
