Dear Heartburn...


Dear heartburn,
I've been expecting you, just not so soon! Usually you come around the beginning of the third trimester. This time, you arrived right at the beginning of the whole pregnancy, giving me zero time to prepare for you! Even water makes you nearer to me. I thought your presence would be subtle until about the time I originally expected you to come, but last week, you decided to go into full force mode and ruin my night! You kept me up for hours making me feel sick. I can't sleep sitting up, you know! And when I thought it couldn't be any worse, you made me throw up all over my blanket! So maybe if you could ease up a little bit I can be a happy camper and deal with you later.
Thanks...

AH!!! Heartburn is no fun! YUCK! I remember those days!

I always get mine right away too--so maybe it is a boy??

You threw up??

I empathize!! that's why chris made me take a pregnancy test, i had heart burn again!! I rely religiously on prilosec... or the generic! which is saving us lots of money... take one or two a day to keep the burning monster away! good luck!

Oh how I don't miss that. I was always told that means your baby has lots of hair. Haha who knows. I do know mine was terrible with Jaytin and not so bad with the girls. I lived on soft chew rolaids.

Dear Emily,

I am sorry that you are so mad at me...I only do what I am supposed to. Did you think pregnancy would be easy? I hate to tell you but I might be a round for a while. Thanks for understanding.

Sincerely,
Heartburn

This is how I feel too! Good luck:)

Oh you poor thing! I always have heart burn right away and then it goes away until the 2nd trimester and then I have it HARD CORE until the baby pops out. YUCK! I feel for ya!

Julie Jan said...

Oh my gosh! You poor thing! I haven't had any of that yet. I hope it gets better not worst. Cindi says you are so cute prego!!

I have the same thing. It has never come this early before...is this a 3rd child thing? I swear I take tums 4-5 at a time ALL NIGHT LONG! Some people say the more heartburn...more hair on the baby...this chica better come out with pony tails:) Let me know when you find out what you're having!!

Sorry about the heartburn! I remember the first time I had it with Brooke, I honestly thought I was going to die! But I do think mine was worse with Nixon, I found generic prilosec at Target, so times they have it on sale. Hopefully you find something to help!
