Chewing gum, and drinking milk is supposed to help too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648854 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 00:26:19 +0000 Arden 648854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and nothing helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648852 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 00:25:12 +0000 sylvie_b 648852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much heartburn. Oof!<br /> Small meals have definitely helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648736 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:51:18 +0000 Running Elley 648736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My reflux was horrible all the way through my pregnancy but it was especially rough during the third tri! I don't miss that at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648735 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:50:18 +0000 Anagram 648735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had GERD before pregnancy, so that continues. So far it hasn't been *worse*, but that's because before I had it pretty badly on a daily basis already. It's about the same now.</p> <p>After I got pregnancy, my doctor made me stop my prescription omeprezole (I was taking 400mg a day after my esophegeal stricture!)and switch to 2 doses of 150 mg of Zantac a day (morning and night) and that was a very rough transition---the Zantac wasn't helping as much as I needed. But now I supplement with Gaviscon chewables (they work better than tums) in between the Zantac doses and find some relief that way.</p> <p>It suuuucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648591 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 19:40:16 +0000 MrsRoo 648591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine just started around 32 weeks. I'm 34 weeks now and it's pretty mild, 2 Tums does the trick for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648553 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 19:20:27 +0000 Sweet T 648553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it the entire time I was pregnant with DS. I had to take Zantac as needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648548 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 19:18:41 +0000 tororojo 648548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and yes! I didn't have bad reflux, but toward the end I would get it when laying down at night and I'd pop a Tums or 2 before bedtime. The most miserable time I had reflux was during labor at 10cm, right before pushing. And I didn't have Tums and the idea of taking a liquid medicine made me want to vomit...sooo miserable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648390 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:37:41 +0000 LittleFox 648390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had terrible reflux. I went through bottles of tums with mixed results. Sometimes nothing helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648373 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:23:46 +0000 Boheme 648373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breaking my meals up into 6 small meals has done me wonders as far as heartburn goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648370 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:22:07 +0000 autumnlove 648370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Dang it!! :-(</p> <p>@anbanan15: Oooh!

I had terrible heartburn, but I was really admit about not taking anything besides prenatals and fish oil that I just sucked it up and tried to modify my diet to help.</p> <p>ETA: I ate ginger candies like Ginger People to try and help </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648343 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:04:43 +0000 travelgirl1 648343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I had it, like a bitch, for my entire pregnancy. Tums were like using a watering can on a bush fire, lol. Max strength Zantac and gaviscon in liquid form helper but there was no magic cure. Sorry, I know it sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648312 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:43:00 +0000 prettylizy 648312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was the worst from 32-37 weeks. The only true cure was having the baby :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648296 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:36:40 +0000 meganmp 648296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going through a gabillion Tums a night, and finally told my doctor. She told me I should have told her earlier, and marched me down to the pharmacy to get Zantac. SO MUCH BETTER! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648289 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:31:41 +0000 Springtime 648289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it bad bad! Tums did help me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648255 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:07:28 +0000 GreenThumb 648255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went from morning sickness directly into daily (and nightly) heartburn and it hasn't let up at 26 weeks so I think it will be with me for the long haul. I elevate my head at night, eat small meals, don't eat after 7 pm, avoid triggers (tomatoes, onions, etc.), drink milk, devour Tums, but nothing really helped until I started Prilosec last week. Heartburn just disappeared! I'm not big on taking meds, but I couldn't imagine going another three months with constant heartburn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648243 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:52:00 +0000 QBbride 648243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it's terrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648240 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:49:29 +0000 matador84 648240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes terribly! I would choke on acid while sleeping which would lead to vomiting. Nothing helped me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648208 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:16:01 +0000 lemondrop 648208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it the whole darn pregnancy! Tums helped, but Prilosec was best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648205 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:12:36 +0000 allison 648205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had it when I ate tomatoes. So I just stayed away from spaghetti and pizza until after I had the baby. It's all good now! It didn't start til 3rd tri. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648138 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:17:15 +0000 loveisstrange 648138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it bad. I took tons of Tums and chugged milk like crazy. I would wake up at night with stomach acid in my mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648134 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:12:53 +0000 boiledpnut 648134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I took Tums and zantac, but nothing really helped. We even elevated the head of our bed. It was terrible, but it was gone after I delivered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648104 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:34:26 +0000 BananaPancakes 648104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It was awful. I'd wake up all night to take tums because laying down would make it awful. They eventually stopped working and it suuuucked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648097 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:29:44 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 648097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It actually started in my second trimester and lasted until I delivered. Tums helped somewhat, as did papaya enzyme. On days when it was really bad I would take Zantac 75. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648063 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:05:36 +0000 blackbird 648063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been frequent lately. Tums doesn't help. I want to stay hydrated, but drinking lots of water makes it worse </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648062 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:04:43 +0000 cascademom 648062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, tons of it and heartburn. I couldn't eat comfortably until after delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648038 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:48:45 +0000 Maysprout 648038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had lots of reflex 3rd trimester. Tums helped me a bit but reflux was still there. I never tried anything else though. Hope you feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-reflux-in-your-3rd-trimester#post-648027 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 12:41:55 +0000 autumnlove 648027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a delicious breakfast this morning but I can still taste it almost 2 hours later....I guess my reflux has started at almost 34 weeks. </p> <p>Did you have reflux during your 3rd tri? Did taking Tums help you? </p>
