What are we all taking for the heart burn.

I’m in utter agony and the thought of Gavascon makes me want to vomit. It’s been so bad today I’ve barely eaten, I’ve been sick and was close to going into hospital I was so lethargic. The pain is horrific.

Gavascon and milk 😫😂

FYI to those of you using milk, the fat content in milk can actually make heartburn worse in the long run even though it provides temporary relief at the time. I’ve had it since I was 14 and tried every trick in the book.

Also laying on your left side can alleviate the pain if you have nothing at home x

I loved omeprozal.

I've been having bad/painful indigestion/heartburn (also pregnant) but my care team told me Pepcid and tums.

Back to work after mat leave

Hi all, I started back on work Tuesday after a year off, my lg is 10 and half months old I also have a 5 year old who’s in y1.
I only work 3 days a week Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I honestly feel so run down already and I’ve only done my second day I honestly don’t know how I’m going to do this for the foreseeable it’s just constant. I have so much to do yet I’m sat here eating cake and a super noodle for my tea because I don’t have the energy or time to cook my self anything.
I’m a hairdresser and I just feel mentally and physically drained already. Does it get easier

Breeched Baby

So I went to my ob yesterday. I have been having TERRIBLE pain in my pelvic area and awful nausea. My feet are humongous and I'm retaining water. My ob thought this was all strange, so she did an ultrasound and my baby is breeched. He is kicking me right in the vagina and making me so sick. I will be 29 weeks tomorrow , so he still has time to turn around, but they want to keep an eye on him. Did anyone else go through this? What happened?

Cramps

Woke up this morning with cramps, usually only get them at night and gone by morning today I woke up with them still and had them all day. Had a nap and woke up and their worse now. It’s just a constant pain I wouldn’t say there’s a pattern to it, it does fluctuate in how painful depending on what I’m doing. Just went food shopping and the pain is so bad and all in my back now. Don’t know what to make of it or whether I should be worried… 😅 I’m 39 weeks today.

Pregnancy pp

🫣 Posting anonymously because I’m not quite ready to put this out there yet…

I’d love some opinions from other moms! I’m wondering if there’s a possibility I could be pregnant, but I’m trying not to convince myself based on symptoms. 😂

My period is expected in about 5 days, and lately I’ve been EXTREMELY tired/exhausted. Tonight I suddenly started feeling really nauseous and needed a ginger chew, which is unusual for me. I also noticed my breast milk supply seemed unusually low recently.

The weirdest thing is that when I was pregnant with my daughter, tomatoes/red sauce made me incredibly sick. Tonight we had pasta with red sauce, and afterward I started feeling really nauseous again. 🤢

I’ve also noticed that my boobs look HUGE after pumping, which is something I specifically remember happening when I was pregnant with my daughter before I even knew I was pregnant.

I have been testing, but so far I’ve gotten negative pregnancy tests. The thing is, when I was pregnant with my daughter, I also took multiple negative tests. I kept testing and testing, and it wasn’t until I was around 7–8 weeks pregnant that I finally got a very obvious positive. So the negatives right now aren’t necessarily making me feel completely convinced either way. 😅

I know PMS can cause a lot of the same symptoms, and breastfeeding can make cycles and hormones unpredictable, so I’m trying to stay realistic. But with the nausea, exhaustion, breast changes, lower supply, and the fact that some of this feels eerily similar to my last pregnancy… I’m definitely wondering. 👀

For those of you who found out you were pregnant before your missed period, did you have symptoms like this? Did you get negative tests at first and then eventually get a positive? And has anyone else noticed their breasts looking especially large/full after pumping as an early pregnancy symptom?

Would love to hear your experiences/opinions because I’m driving myself crazy trying to figure out if I’m imagining things or if my body is trying to tell me something. 😂❤️
