Holy, Holy, Holy Heartburn


via Stork Fund
Before being pregnant I experienced heartburn occasionally. I would just slam water until I forgot about it and it went away. I couldn't see how people would go to the hospital for indigestion or heartburn thinking it was possibly a heart attack.
With pregnancy, I experience heartburn frequently (daily, off and on) and as I get bigger and bigger, the intensity of the burning increases. I now wonder how anyone with true heartburn doesn't think "Oh my gosh, what is this? Something is WRONG!!!"
It hurts, y'all! BAD.
From my throat to my stomach (which is now located directly under my ribs) area, I just burnnnnn sometimes. Water only makes it worse, too. I'm trying tea on it today but so far, it hasn't stopped. Almonds work for me and I 'd like to try apple cider vinegar + water to see if it works, too.

Mama Kitty Love works, too.

They say when you have heartburn in pregnancy, your child will have lots of hair. We'll have to see. In the meantime, have a lovely weekend and please vote for my belly cast (if you haven't yet!)Shawn and I made by "Like"ing the picture on Facebook here!

  1. So sorry you're having so much pain, Hill. Here's hoping the apple cider vinegar and water will help, along with the kitty love, of course. Kitty love helps everything. Hugs!

  2. This just sounds so terrible. Is there anything that helps? Glass of milk? Anything? Yuck.

    Side note - when I had appendicitis, my friend (she's a pharmacist) told me, "Oh don't worry, it's probably just heartburn." Ha.
