OMG Heartburn from hell - Advice please

OMG I thought I'd been suffering from heartburn but last night was horrendous! Felt like such a wimp but had to ring the MW it was so bad. Started about 7pm and lasted til gone 5am this morning - accompanied by throwing up.

It was so bad that I am now thinking there is no way I can go through labour it was sooooo bad eeekkkk

I was doing all the right things, sipped cooled boiled water, peppermint tea, milk and taking gaviscon but nothing was helping.... going to see my MW on Tuesday so will ask her for something stronger - any suggestions about what I can ask for/have?

Also I'm supposed to be going for a birthday meal tonight but it is Curry and not being served til 9.30pm....do you think I'd be safer to not go or am I being over cautious.... I wasn't keen on going so late anyway but now I'm terrified of a repeat of last night

Thanks Thumbwitch. It still scares me now to think what might have happened. LandL rocks!

DD is now 5 and doing fine healthwise and at school, just finishing Reception - going far too fast!

Not had any more yet but would love another in the not too distant future

This was linked in another thread and I think it deserves a bump. Amazing.

Thanks mildred Just posted a link on another thread to this and came on for a read. It still sends a shiver down my spine when I read and realise how close we both came to it being such a different outcome

Seems an appropriate time to share this
Me and my girl are the 3rd ones in for this amazing Bliss Charity video for World Prematurity Day

@imtiredandiwanttogotobed I saw you linked this thread from another, it’s absolutely remarkable. How is your daughter doing all these years later? Are you still in touch with L&L?

Ps, this is a ZOMBIE THREAD! The op is unlikely to need heartburn remedies at this point

True but it's been bumped twice over the years, and PE is still a major risk. Not the worst zombie to be resurrected.
