Has anyone else had digestion issues during pregnancy? Mine started in the third tri, and by issues I mean that I don't feel like I can completely digest a meal in a reasonable amount of time. On thanksgiving, for example, I ended up puking (sorry, TMI) up the entire meal about 2 hours after we finished eating, and I hadn't even eaten that much! I didn't feel sick, it just felt like the food was coming back up and it had to get the heck out. This happens with a lot of the food I eat, but I notice it almost always happens after eating dairy (I might have a cup of ice cream at 7PM and at 1AM it feels like it's going to come back up.) Anyone else have this problem?

Me too. It sucks. I know digestion slows down during pregnancy. I don't have any advice unfortunately. The doctors just tell me it'll go away once the baby is here.

Sounds like reflux. I have a pretty horrible case as well. My doc has me taking Pepcid which has helped but it hasn't cured me. Only delivery will do that!! Your stomach just has no room because baby is crowding everything in there!

I haven't tried pepcid, but I definitely have acid reflux that burns like heck and I take zantac for. The issues I've been having with food coming back up is separate though (in my opinion... but I'm not a dr!) and doesn't burn. I agree with you that it's the overcrowding. Only 1 more month to go ahhh.

@oahujeni: I just had to switch from Zantac to Pepcid. The Zantac just wasn't cutting it anymore. I honestly can't tell if it's working though.

@oahujeni: yeah the burning is heartburn ad the coming back up is reflux... They are all related to each other. Try the Pepcid (obviously after checking with your doc) and see if it works better for you. Honestly though it seems to just be part of the package of the third tri. I'm getting induced tomorrow and one of the reasons I'm most excited is the end of reflux!!!
