Hi ladies,
Before pregnancy I'd never experienced acid reflux or heartburn so I'm pretty out of my element here!
I'm 36 weeks pregnant and for the last week or so had what I think is severe acid reflux. Its a constant burning sensation in my throat, I feel often like I need to burp but can't and I seem to frequently have acid vomit just pop up into my mouth. Its worst when lying down and I've tried propping up and following standard advice re what to eat or not eat but none of it seems to work. It makes me feel very sick and often at night I'm lying down to sleep and keep vomiting acid into my mouth.
What medications are safe for me to take, if anything? I've had hyperemesis throughout my pregnancy and was taken off antiemetics after 9 weeks because they were actually making me more sick and I was reacting badly to them so I'm skeptical if anything will help but it's gotten to the point I can't sleep because I'm choking on acid. A lot of people recommend milk. I'm lactose intolerant so tried soy milk but that actually made it worse.
Seeing midwife later this week so will bring it up with her but please help me cope and sleep in the meantime! Thank you!
