Burning in my throat?!?

[Waterfountain97]

Okay so may be heartburn , acid , indigestion but to be honest I don't know! All I know is from the middle of my chest going all the way up to my throat BURNS and all can explain is like acid 😷 It's really causing me discomfort and I don't know what to do ...I think knowing what it is would help but google just confuses me more? I've tried milk? That doesn't do a thing

Sounds like heartburn. It's horrid. Gaviscon - have a bottle in every room and in every handbag...

Gaviscon will be your new friend. I had a bottle next to my bed for the last 10 weeks of pregnancy taking gulps during the night.

Even Rennie will help

Welcome to the acid reflux stage.

Have a glass of milk in morning and get a doctors appointment for some Omeperazole or anti acid that's safe in pregnancy - next is get a dentist appointment as teeth take a dent during pregnancy but due to AR I've lost all my molars and due to get all teeth removed at end of this pregnancy so your gonna want to keep an eye in them.

Tilt your pillow and lay down a towel at night, drool can happen with AR too.

Be diligent with brushing and avoid trigger foods you need to discover on your own. (Spicy food settled mine funnily enough!)

That's about it - it can hurt and cause bad breathe but OTc meds or Omeperazole prescribed will help massively.

Sounds like acid reflux. I suffered with it during the second half of my pregnancy, especially at night. I used chewable fruit flavoured antacids. I'd have a pack by my bed, by my seat in the living room, in my drawer at work, in the car and in my handbag.

Heartburn radiated me last pregnancy and now it’s starting again. Had the burning in the thought thing going on all day today. Fun times for all.

No milk is not good! It's too fatty and can cause your stomach to produce more acid.

You need to get the pink Gaviscon liquid (mint is best flavour!) in the first instance and that should settle it. If it doesn't, GP can prescribe something stronger but that really does work. Also avoid spicy food, fatty food and try to eat little and often. Also avoid eating too late in the evening!

Astrid - milk works for me that's why I mention it and lots of different types of milk out.

Good luck OP

Milk helps in the short term and exacerbates it in the long term. OP you said yourself what it is, acid reflux/indigestion. Eat little and often, get Rennies and Gaviscon.

Oh poor you I had this so badly with DS2. Acid reflux. Gaviscon helped but Rennies worked best for me. I had them in every bag. Try sleeping with an extra pillow if you get it badly at night.
